HPBSA Umpires 2025 - Spring 2025

Umpires,

As we prepare for the upcoming season, I want to emphasize the importance of background checks for all our umpires. The safety and well-being of our players, coaches, and families are our top priority.

To ensure a secure and trustworthy environment, we require all umpires to undergo thorough background checks. This measure is non-negotiable, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

On a related note, we're excited to provide each of our umpires with a complimentary HPBSA UMPIRE polo shirt and HPBSA UMPIRE fitted hat. These uniforms will not only enhance our league's professionalism but also foster a sense of unity and pride among our umpiring team. Pants and closed toe shoes are required in 2025 but will not be provided by the league. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the background check process or uniforms, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your dedication to our league, and let's work together to create a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Best regards,

HPBSA
