To join the MVUA you must pass a written exam based on official Major League
Baseball rules.
To
thoroughly prepare you for this exam, MVUA provides a 6-week Umpire School for
new umpires. This school is held twice each year; once in January and once
in July, usually at St. Mary''s in Lawrence, Mass. (see
School Schedule).
Once you pass the exam you will be an Apprentice umpire and member of the
MVUA.
To remain in good standing, all MVUA member umpires must pass a yearly written
(open book-take home) rules exam and attend MVUA clinics on rules, issues,
umpiring mechanics, and game conduct. This training and development program
ensures that the member umpires of the MVUA meet the highest standards of
umpire professionalism.
To learn more about joining please contact John Silva, 2nd Vice President by
phone at (978) 462-4599 or by email at
jsilva1020@comcast.net.
The MVUA does accept transfers from other organizations. If you are already a
certified baseball umpire (in Major League rules) and are in good standing with
your current organization simply send a letter to the MVUA
Secretary/Treasurer (see Contacts)
requesting admission along with a letter from your former organization's
Secretary.
