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, JV, 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.
