SUA Believes in Umpire Education
Umpires should continuously review the various rules of the leagues SUA administers and attend the field clinics to ensure we are all using the same mechanics. Due to the various availability's of our umpires, we must be able to interchange with each other and know where our partners will be when a play is being made on the field.
