The Softball NSW Umpires Association has developed a five-year strategic plan from 2009-2014 centered around building and maintaining an organization ("Our House") to support umpiring in New South Wales. The plan identifies five key result areas: administration and management, service to softball, recruitment of umpires, development of umpires, and retention of umpires.
