The American Federation Of Umpires, established in 1991, is a group of men and women who share the common goal of consistent improvement and adjustment in their umpiring skills and knowledge of the game that contributes to the reputation we enjoy with our clients.
The AFU is based in Nassau County, New York, and serves the adjoining counties of Suffolk to the east, Queens and Brooklyn to the west.
We are baseball umpires and have added some girls' softball to our client base in response to the growing presence of softball in this part of the country. Over the years, the American Federation Of Umpires has been recruited to umpire at various levels of baseball that include: College Wood Bat, New York Metro Baseball League, Men's 18 Year Old Wood Bat and Aluminum, Men's Senior League Baseball, Elite League Baseball at the 17/18 and 16 year old level, Independent League Baseball 17/18 years old, Big League Baseball 16/18 years old, Boys 13/14,15/16 year old baseball, Boys 11/12 year old baseball and girl's softball ages 11 through 18 years old, to name a few. In addition, we have been invited to work World Series, States, Sections and District contests in each of the above levels of play.
If we have learned anything over the years, it is that each of us share a common focus. We are committed to performance expectations that are crisply translated on the field through rules knowledge, timing, mechanics, judgement, appearance, game management skills and improved communications with managers and coaches.
Blending dependability, on-field expertise and interactive skills, in a professional cooperative setting, at the amateur level, are the benchmarks we are most proud of.
