The Imperial Valley Umpires Association will meet Wednesday.

Anyone interested in officiating local high school baseball and/or softball games is invited to attend. There is a shortage of officials in all high school sports and this has led to rescheduling games, causing issues with schools and teams. Anyone who has played the game or been a fan is welcome to learn more about becoming an official by attending the meeting. Officials receive training in rules, mechanics and game management. Officials are also compensated. The meeting will start at 5:15 p.m. in Trailer 5 on the campus of Central Union High School.
