Welcome to the official website of the San Gabriel Valley Unit of the California Baseball Umpires Association (CBUA), serving nearly 30 high schools in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California.
The 2019 football season is winding down with state finals this weekend. The 2019-2020 basketball season has started and is in full swing. And now, the 2020 baseball season is upon us. Our first meeting was on Monday, December 9, 2019, and we covered last year’s new rules and this year’s new rules and points of emphasis. Please click here to see the Prezi shown at that meeting.

Darren is an NCAA Division I football official, high school basketball referee and baseball umpire, and three-time Ironman. He is the secretary-treasurer and webmaster for the San Gabriel Valley Football Officials Association and the instructional chairman and webmaster for the California Baseball Umpires Association-San Gabriel Valley Unit.
After teaching elementary school for 17 years, he decided to leave the classroom and pursue his passion for fitness. Darren was introduced to Pilates by his wife, Michelle, who has been practicing Pilates for over ten years. Reluctant to go at first, figuring that it would be too easy or not masculine enough, he soon learned just the opposite. Doing Pilates on a regular basis has helped him to increase his strength and flexibility, correct muscle imbalances, and prevent injuries. Darren copleted the 600-hour training program through Power Pilates to earn his Complete Apparatus and Mat certifications. He is also a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, holds three TRX certifications, and is a certified Spinning Instructor. Darren teaches Pilates out of his house in Pasadena, at Reformation Station in Lincoln Heights, and Equinox in Pasadena.
Darren earned his BA in Liberal Studies from Cal Poly Pomona and an MA in Elementary Education from Claremont Graduate University.
