The meeting dates for the Ithaca Umpires Association for the 2003 season are listed below. All meetings will be held at Groton High School, Peru Road, Groton, NY. All umpires are required to attend one of the meetings held each week to satisfy the requirements of the NYSBUA. If you cannot attend a meeting during a particular week, you must see an officer of the board to set a date for the makeup session. If any umpire fails to meet the meeting requirement, then they will not be asked to work any post season ball games.
