The Southern Massachusetts Umpires Association

The S.M.U.A. takes great strives to make the S.M.U.A. one of the top associations, in the state of Massachusetts. We take pride in knowing that coaches, players, & fans often notice an S.M.U.A. umpire and how we differ from the others. We always require our members to have vast knowledge of the rules of Baseball, have respect for Teams, Fellow Umpires, and the Game of Baseball, dress in a professional manner, be punctual, and always hustle.
