One of the highlights you will see inside is our approach to training and developing umpires. Since our inception. our goal as an association has been to promote better softball by providing professional umpire training to our officials.  Keeping the umpire up to date with the changing game is our major priority. The cornerstone upon which we have built our reputation is umpire education. SEPA's training staff is comprised of officials who have risen to the highest levels of softball. Umpires who are respected and consulted by other umpires seeking to learn and improve. Respected for not only how they work but for their professionalism and dutiful regard for the game.
