I am 41 years old. I've been umpireing for about 4 years now. I have absoulty fell in love with it. I've been getting goood reviews from coaches and peers. I have been putting alot of thought in trying to go to the college level. Am I to old to do that? I've been kind of scared to ask that question LOL. What advice does anybody have on how to to get to the college level?

Should move this post to the Umpire section
Go for it! Age has nothing to do with it. I'm 53 and can see from my seat in the stands a lot better than some of the D3 umpires who where on the field this season.
be careful what you're getting yourself into. Many college games are filled with hecklers that have no love for the blue. I sit and listen, laugh sometimes, at the relentless harassment of the umpires and opposing team. It gets brutal and you're going to really have to love the game to get over it.
