Each USPA circuit is allocated “UMP” funds, based on the amount of member clubs, registered players and affiliate members within the circuit. The Umpires LLC, UMP Program is focused on reimbursing a portion of umpire fees, for clubs who hire certified umpires. There is a total amount of $118,000 allocated to the 13 circuits of the USPA. Over 65 USPA member clubs received umpire reimbursements through the UMP Program in 2015. For further information, please visit the USPA website under Umpire Services, or contact Maggie Mitchell at mmitchell@uspolo.org.
