We have our rec league Allstar game Thursday night, small 4 team league composed of top 6 girls from each team. We found out at practice that "coaches will be umpires" with not much other detail. Has anyone been in this situation before? What would be the best way to keep things fair and balanced? I am mostly concerned with behind the plate ump. Best to switch up coaches behind the plate after 3 innings? I would happily umpire the whole game without bias. Of course this is supposed to be all about having fun as always, but Im already getting the vibe from HC that shes in it to win it. Is it something I should avoid? I feel like parents may be more apt to argue calls if the ump is actually a coach from the "other team". Appreciate any input thanks ladies n gents.
