South Jersey Umpires Association Scholarship News

South Jersey Umpires Association was founded in 1940 to provide umpiring services to Burlington County schools. Since that time, as baseball has grown in the county, so has SJUA. We provide umpiring services not only to Burlington County middle and high schools, but also serve many independent leagues, for example, American Legion, Senior Babe Ruth and Delaware Valley youth teams, as well as, South Jersey Men's Senior Baseball League and the semi-pro Rancocas Valley Baseball League (RVL). Many of our umpires are also certified to do ECAC college baseball and softball; some of our members have even gone on to the professional level. Our members have over 750 years of combined umpiring experience at all levels.
