About Us

The South Gulf Umpires Association was formed in the 1970’s and  incorporated in 1990 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to provide  baseball officials to the High Schools of Lee, Hendry, Glades and  Charlotte Counties. Over the years, we have become recognized as one of  the top group of officials in the state as we have sent many umpiring  crews to the State Baseball Championship series.

Through the great efforts of our training coordinators, our  members are kept abreast of rules changes, on-field mechanics, and  anything else that improves umpiring skills. We strive to succeed and to  provide the High Schools with the most competent umpires available.

We also give back to the community. Over the years our  members have taken part in the Toys For Tots program, Umps Care Charity,  Call For The Cure, and the Harry Chapin Food Drive. For the past 6  years our members have assisted the F.H.S.A.A. with the State     semi-final & championship baseball games held in 

Fort Myers.

This site is a resource for men and women who love baseball  and want to learn how to umpire (no experience necessary), or are new  to the area and want to continue umpiring, or have been umpiring youth  league games and want to take their umpiring skills to the next level.  All that is needed is a desire to learn, as we will train you to reach  your goal.
