National Umpires Association is one of the largest amateur umpire associations in the country. It is based out of Atlanta, Georgia. NUA is not a local group. NUA's national membership consists of numerous experienced college and high school umpires.
The level of baseball that our umpires officiate ranges from 8U coach pitch to 18U nationally televised championship games and showcases. We understand that umpiring can have a significant effect on the attitude towards any baseball program, which is why we train and retrain our group each January. Professionalism is our #1 goal.
NUA works National Tournaments 10 months out of the year including the Triple Crown events, Travelball Select/Top Prospects National Championship Series, CABA World Series, USSSA, and many more. NUA also is the exclusive umpire association for some of Georgia's top National Travel youth programs including the Georgia Summer Sunbelt College League. For a list of national tournaments, visit the calendar link on our website (www.nuaumpiresusa.org/calendar.html).
Over the years NUA has been selected to work several of the Nations top Tournaments hosted at the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson University, Auburn University, Kennesaw State, Georgia State, Troy State and many others.
NUA is directed by Jim Stros, of Woodstock, Georgia. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Jim is a 1990 graduate of Michigan State University. At Michigan State, Jim was a relief pitcher from 1987-1990. He currently holds three single season Big Ten appearance records as one of the all-time leaders in career appearances at Michigan State. After graduation, Jim had the opportunity to pursue baseball professionally for three seasons in the springs of 1991-1993, then found another love for the game after becoming an umpire 20+ years ago.
For the past 25 years Jim has umpired several National Championship events including nationally televised games played at Los Angeles Dodger Stadium and San Diego's Padres Petco Park on Fox Sports, CBS Sports and CSS Sports.
Jim has built numerous relationships with high school and college coaches across the country. In 1993, at the Major League Umpires International Camp, professional umpires Mike Reilly, Joe Brinkman, Paul Nauert and Gerry Davis selected Jim as the #1 umpire in his class. Jim was also voted Most Outstanding Umpire in his class at the 1993 NCAA Southern Umpires School. Jim went on to umpire for four NCAA college seasons before becoming the National Director for National Umpires Association.
