Founded in 2014, United Collegiate Umpires (UCU) is dedicated to advancing the standard of NCAA baseball officiating through education, accountability, and professional development.

Founded in 2019, United Travel Umpires (UTU) provides professional officiating services for travel and tournament baseball nationwide.

Founded in 2022, United Tri-State Umpires (UTS) serves amateur baseball organizations throughout the Tri-State region (NJ, NY, and PA) providing trained, accountable umpires upholding the values of professionalism, consistency, and integrity.

United Umpires is built on a shared commitment to advancing the quality, integrity, and experience of amateur baseball officiating nationwide. Comprised of sister companies United Collegiate Umpires (UCU), founded in 2014; United Travel Umpires (UTU), founded in 2019; and United Tri-State Umpires (UTS), founded in 2022, United Umpires supervises a national staff of umpires and supports all levels of amateur baseball.

Everything we do is guided by a foundational belief: Umpires Advance United. United in standards. United in accountability. United in restoring the pride, purpose, and sense of accomplishment every umpire should feel when they take the field. This philosophy drives consistency, professionalism, and trust across collegiate, travel, and regional baseball.

Together, UCU, UTU, and UTS form a unified family built on shared values, mutual support, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Our commitment to the game extends far beyond a single season. United Umpires operates 365 days a year, focused on development, evaluation, mentorship, and preparation. This year-round investment reflects who we are and what we authentically value—supporting umpires, strengthening performance, and safeguarding the integrity of the game.

Forged with a clear and unwavering vision, United Umpires is driven by passion, discipline, and a commitment to excellence. Our goal is to establish and maintain a respected officiating identity across regions and competition levels, while setting the standard for assigning organizations nationwide.

At the core of United Umpires is continuing umpire education. From our earliest days, education has been—and will always remain—central to our mission. Through comprehensive training, evaluation, and advancement opportunities, we ensure collegiate institutions, tournament organizers, and member organizations are consistently provided umpires whose preparation, judgment, and professionalism match the caliber of the athletes they serve.

Led by active umpires and clinicians, United Umpires works tirelessly on and off the field to uphold the integrity of amateur baseball. Our structure allows us to create a positive, constructive officiating experience for all stakeholders—institutions, event organizers, athletes, and umpires alike—while fostering growth, accountability, and long-term sustainability.

Together, UCU, UTU, and UTS form a unified family built on shared values, mutual support, and a commitment to continuous improvement. We are proud to serve the game, support our officials, and build a lasting culture rooted in professionalism, education, and trust.
