RECRUITMENT PROGRAM
How This Program Works
We are introducing a recruitment program that we hope will benefit you while increasing EBUA’s manpower. Although we are thankful for the word of mouth recruitment some of you have already done in past years, this new incentivized program will ONLY apply for the 2022 season and beyond.
For every Umpire you bring into our Association as an Umpire or a Student taking our Rookie Class, we will provide a $50 discount off of your annual dues. The EBUA will need more Umpires to join our ranks for the 2022 Season.
If you can recruit an experienced Umpire or a beginner to take our March class - we will take $50 off of your dues.
Bring in two new Umpires and your dues will be reduced by $100!
Bring in three new Umpires and you will be credited the full amount $175 of your dues!
This is a great opportunity for everyone to talk to your friends about joining the EBUA.
You can either copy and paste the web address from this page and have them fill it out the form or you can forward their information to Tom@EBUAUmpires.com
Thank you for your interest in trying to make our Association bigger and better!

About the EBUA
The Elite Baseball Umpires Association was formed to provide youth baseball with quality Umpires. Our Umpires are dedicated to supporting the integrity of the game and promoting sportsmanship amongst the Players, Coaches, Parents and Officials.The EBUA trains its Umpires not only in the proper fundamentals and techniques of officiating baseball; but to also know, understand and articulate the difference in rules amongst the many governing bodies of youth baseball, such as Little League, Cal Ripken and Federation. Providing fair and balanced adjudicating of the games within a partnership with the Coaches is paramount for the EBUA. It is our intent to demonstrate that Coaches and Officials can and should work together to make playing baseball fun for the participants. EBUA understands the great responsibility that our Umpires have in being role models not just for the players, but to other constituents that help make baseball the greatest game ever invented.
EBUA provides Umpires throughout Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Dutchess Counties, The Bronx, Manhattan, Western Connecticut and Fairfield County. This past 2021 Season - Fall, Spring and Summer combined - we provided Umpires for over 1,600 teams and assigned almost 15,000 games!!! As we continue to grow leaps and bounds, we'd like to thank all of our Staff and Umpires for their continued support and tremendous effort in making EBUA one of the strongest, most talented, professional and respected Umpire Associations in the country.
