Serving the amateur softball community of NY State's Capital District

We are experiencing temporary difficulties with the labeling of the navigation buttons down the left side of the page (below "Home"). Some or all of them may appear blank. However, the links are functioning. If you drag your mouse across them, you should see the page they link to. Then just click on the button to go to that page. You may also go to the bottom of each page for links to other pages on this site.

A special thanks and best wishes from the organization to Sal Cozzolino, who after approximately 30 years of service has retired from softball umpiring. May good health and fortune be with you, Sal!!!

About Our Organization

The Capital District Softball Umpires Association registers and trains softball umpires. We also provide officials and umpire assigning services to public high schools and colleges, as well as youth and adult leagues within our jurisdiction (the greater Albany, Saratoga. Glens Falls. Hudson, NY area). We are affiliated with NYSSO (NYS Softball Officials) and ASA (Amateur Softball Assn). Subject to availability, we also provide officials for softball events sponsored by PONY and other sanctioning authorities.

Umpire development is a result of classroom and field mechanics training. Due to the large area we service, classes are held in three locations. Officials are required to attend a minimum number of these sessions (as per our by-laws) as well as a mandatory season ending business meeting to remain in good standing. A list of meetings, classes and mechanic's sessions is now available (see Schedule link).
