RSPA Info - What's New

Updated March 23, 2024
All information may change as a result of SPN-SPOA merger.
We will continue to address the RSPA Code of Conduct.
We are really going to clamp down on incidents, trash talking and umpire abuse.
Player ejection for umpire abuse or any physical altercation will result in an automatic 3 game suspension.
UMPIRES: All umpires make mistakes, even the major league umpires. They do not deserve to be abused, yelled at or threatened.
