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.

Our umpires play a critical role in the community environment we strive for with our league.  The league is committed to ensuring our Umpires are treated with the appreciation and respect they deserve given the contribution they are making to our community and recreational league.

Included in your enrollment are our new Umpire standards for the 2026 season that outline our expectations for conduct and preparation for the upcoming season.  All umpires are working with Howard Palmetto as individual service providers who are accountable for upholding these standards.

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
