The Wounded Warrior Umpire Academy

Still in the Fight

Established in 2014, the Wounded Warrior Umpire Academy’s mission is to provide instruction, training, placement and peer to peer support for military veterans interested in baseball.

An excerpt from WWUA President Gregory Wilson:

The Academy strives to provide our students with so much more than a skill to use on the baseball diamond. We seek to demonstrate and realize the common bond between individuals passionate about the sport of baseball. Long after our playing days are over, there is still a connection to the game through umpiring. When like-minded individuals come together to learn the art of umpiring and share similar military backgrounds, our students find another “band of brothers” in which they now belong. This brotherhood will never “PCS” or disband. Everywhere our students go, they are able to connect with other umpires and the game of baseball to immediately feel welcomed with a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
