Ump Attire Major Sponsor of NASO Summit in California

Aug 29th, 2023

The 15th year of in-person National Association of Sports Officials (NASO) event in Riverside, California marked our biggest and best ever.

 
California is our largest state in sales, so we wanted to make sure we showed up to give our thanks. We brought a record number of staff to cover both California Officiate Day and the official 3-Day NASO Summit that followed.

  

Hunter, Sherie and Ty were great energy as always.The spin wheel on Officiate California Day and the dual-branded Ump Attire/NASO flip coin giveaways were giant hits.

  

We were honored to sponsor the first ever “Backyard Social Hour”! All attendees played games and had a few drinks on us including a signature drink “The Refereeita”.
  
We appreciate all those who stopped by our booth as well as the people of NASO, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the California Basketball Officials Association (CBOA) who made this event such an enjoyable and overwhelming success!
