WMUA Members,

For some of you, the season may have already started and Mother Nature wasn't very kind. Hopefully, everything went fine with no problems.

Most of us will be kicking off the season this week, as Spring Break has ended and hopefully the warmer weather is upon us.

I want to personally thank all the members that attended meetings, training nights, and the clinics. It shows that you’re ready to learn and get better at something that doesn't always give us much appreciation. Hopefully, in the years to come, things will get better and people will realize the real reason why we’re out there.

I also want to thank the whole WMUA board for guiding this association in the right direction. We are growing and maintaining members like never before and getting them ready for the upcoming season with the training and knowledge that will help them become better umpires.

So, continue reading those rule books, checking your equipment, keeping those uniforms clean, and communicating with your partners and schools. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your assignor or a board member.

And most of all, HAVE A GREAT SEASON AND HAVE FUN!

Kirk VanderLaan

WMUA President
