2021 Training Coordinators

For our Training Sessions, members are divided up by years of experience with HCUA.  Mr. Jim Cunius trains our veteran umpires, whereas Mr. Rob Stroup heads up the training for those new to HCUA, and new to umpiring.
Training is conducted with both classroom time, hands-on instruction, and field experience.  It also covers mechanics, rules, game management, and other vital aspects in officiating baseball games.
