Welcome
to the TUA

My vision for the Triangle Umpires Association is to build a respected, progressive, and unified organization recognized for its professionalism, accountability, consistency, and commitment to excellence. I believe an association's strength is not measured solely by the number of umpires it represents, but by the quality, preparation, character, and commitment of its membership. My goal is to establish an environment where training and development are priorities, accountability is expected, communication is encouraged, and opportunities for growth and advancement are available to those willing to invest in themselves and the profession. We will place an emphasis on recruiting, educating, mentoring, evaluating, and developing umpires at every level of experience. Through continued instruction, practical training, mentorship, and meaningful evaluation, we will work to improve individual performance while raising the overall standard of officiating throughout our association. Equally important is building strong relationships with the schools, athletic directors, coaches, and stakeholders we serve. We must be a dependable partner that takes pride in providing qualified, prepared, and professional officials who represent our association with integrity and distinction. Ultimately, I want TUA to be more than an association that assigns baseball games. I want it to be an organization that develops umpires, creates opportunities, builds relationships, demands accountability, and takes pride in its people. I want our members to be proud to wear the TUA uniform, our schools to have confidence in the officials we provide, and our association to establish a reputation that reflects the very best of our profession. Our success will not be measured simply by where we begin, but by the progress we make, the people we develop, and the legacy we build together.
