Along with registration, the fee includes: A uniform, team practice equipment (balls, bases), player trophies, and leaguewide events.  We are a recreational baseball league, which means that everyone WILL be drafted to a team after a mandatory evaluation in early January 2026.

HPBSA Umpires 2026 - Annual 2026

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.

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
