Welcome to the CMBUA Website. |
The Board's Mission: To maintain the highest standards of baseball umpiring. |
| CMBUA HAS JUST CONCLUDED OUR 61ST. YEAR OF PROVIDING UMPIRES IN CENTRAL MASS. TO ALL OUR MEMBERS HAVE A GREAT SUMMER SEASON. Gentlemen, Next week we conclude the HS season and transition in to the Summer Leagues. For those who worked HS games in the TVL, I heard a significant amount of positive feedback from quite a few coaches and AD's. I also heard some negative criticism but the good clearly outweighed the bad. Thanks to those who worked for Emilio, Don, myself and the other League Assignors. It is not easy trying to hustle from your day job, travel to a HS and umpire effectively, every time. There are "roadblocks and obstacles" that one has to overcome at times, to make it all happen. For those umpires who have aspirations to advance to the next level, fine tune some things this Summer. Ask a fellow umpire or your partner what you need to improve on. It will happen slowly for some and faster for others. Keep working on your mechanics and ask questions. On 5-27 and 5-28 we will be working on "mechanics" for interested umpires at Babson College. I urge any umpires who are "new" to try and make at least one of the days. Refer to the CMBUA web site for more information. As President of the CMBUA and on behalf of the E-board, we reduced the amount of meetings but increased the material covered. We are always looking for new ideas as seen when the Committee was formed to amend the CMBUA Constitution. It was refreshing to see the interest in our membership. Like one of the members stated when dealing with the Constitution changes: "We need to think about this Constitution and the changes five years from now and not amend for just today." Congratulations to Jules Osyf for winning the VP position. The E-board looks forward to working with Jules in the future. For those who are going to Restaurant 45, see you there. For those who are not, enjoy the Summer and continue to progress as an umpire. Remember, try to act professional, set the standard and act accordingly. If you can use this as a general guideline, then you should have success and enjoyment as an umpire. Jeff Parker CMBUA President | |
