The Colorado Collegiate Umpire Association Officially, the CCUA began in 1985. CCUA members were also registered Colorado High School Baseball Umpires Association umpires and most worked high school games in the spring along with their limited college schedules. CCUA members began to take the leadership at the high school level and soon many CCUA members were asked to be clinicians at the CHSBUA S
tate Master Training and Instructional Clinic; which today has been organized by CCUA members for over a decade. Eventually, with the advent of the NCAA Umpire Development Program as a model, The Mile High Advanced Umpire Clinic began in 1993 and has gone on to provide training to over 400 umpires from a six-state region. It’s easy to say that CCUA has been everywhere. CCUA members can be found in the ranks of the Colorado High School Baseball Umpires Association-and always will be- because first and foremost, CCUA members are high school umpires. CCUA members have become CHSBUA Presidents. They sit on the CHSBUA Executive Board today. The Mile High Advanced Umpire Clinic has become the gold standard for training in Colorado. CCUA members staff the CHSBUA Evaluation Program and CCUA members have served as training directors for the CHSBUA- Umpire Training, Evaluation, and Promotion (UTEP). CCUA members continue to recruit and train all high school umpires for CHSBUA. CCUA has been incorporated into a not-for-profit corporation and conducts extensive fund raising activities to provide scholarship opportunities to not only the Mile High Clinic, but other clinics and baseball events around the nation. Together with our new corporate partner, Aurora Sports Officials, INC., CCUA funds have supported the CHSBUA in its recruiting and training mission as well as providing a yearly donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Presently, CCUA and A*O have finalized plans with the Wounded Warrior Battalion-East to provide training and umpiring opportunities to America’s honored combat veterans. CCUA has a proud tradition of success. It’s a group of umpires dedicated to baseball and improving umpiring. CCUA is constantly on the lookout for individuals who share in the CCUA vision and are dedicated to constantly striving for self-improvement on the diamond, vision in the Board Room, and philanthropic involvement in the Denver community
