MIAA PROMOTES CONCUSSION TRAINING for MIAA TOURNAMENT CONTEST OFFICIALS

In support of the most recent Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) regulations 105 CMR 201.000: HEAD INJURIES AND CONCUSSIONS IN EXTRACURRICULAR ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES, and in the best interests of our student athletes, all MIAA Tournament Directors and Tournament Assignors will require successful completion of an MDPH approved concussion training program as a condition for an official accepting an MIAA tournament assignment.

The National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) training module, “Concussions in Sports: What You Need to Know”, is one of the MDPH approved training programs and may accessed using the link:

Your acceptance of an MIAA Tournament contest assignment will be considered as implicit confirmation that you are a member in good standing with your local board, that you are enrolled with the MIAA, and that you have successfully completed a concussion training program as required by the MDPH.

**This policy will be in effect beginning with the 2011 Fall Tournament season**

The MVUA provides quality patched, certified umpires to cities and towns of the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts and New Hampshire..

All MVUA umpires undergo a rigorous training program and are certified by the MBUA (Massachusetts Baseball Umpires Association).

MVUA members umpire games in Massachusetts and New Hampshire at all levels - College, American Legion, High School Varsity, Junior Varsity, Freshman, Middle School, Babe Ruth, AAU, and Little League.

To remain in good standing, all MVUA member umpires must pass an annual written rules exam and attend MVUA clinics on rules, issues, umpiring mechanics, and game conduct.

All umpires are also evaluated both behind the plate and on the bases during a live game.

This training and development program ensures the member umpires of the MVUA meet the highest standards of umpire professionalism.
