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.

The MVUA takes pride in believing that the MVUA is the strictest baseball umpires association in the region. We take pride in knowing that coaches and players often notice an MVUA umpire and how we differ from the others. We require our members to always dress professionally and hustle.

Many members of the MVUA are also certified in New Hampshire in Federation Baseball rules.

To remain in good standing, all MVUA member umpires must pass a yearly 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.
