Umpires Level 1 Supported Development Course 2013

We will be running a Level 1 Supported Development programme. The table below details the dates of the workshops. Contact our Administration Officer for more information on how to book on to the programme. You ideally should have passed an Umpires Level 1 Assessment.

This programme is designed to build on the knowledge of the law  combining it with match experience. It involves standing in a number of matches and undertaking self analysis, attendance at a number of workshops throughout the season and standing in selected matches with experienced colleagues.

Those taking part in this programme can move easily into the Level 1A scheme

Umpires and Scorers Introductory Courses 2013
These courses are being run on an “On Demand” basis where we need between 8 and 12 attendees. They are primarily aimed at supporters, parents and players who would like to know more about the game of cricket as either an umpire or scorer. No prior knowledge or experience is required.

Contact our BCOA Administration Officer for details on where the courses are being held or how you can set up one for your club.

We ran a “Meet the Training Team” event at Thatcham CC and North Maidenhead CC on the 20th October where we presented full details about the varying courses and the pathway for umpiring and scoring. This helped those who attended to decide which route was best for them i.e. whether they just wanted knowledge of the laws, umpire casually or frequently for a club or progress to a league panel and beyond. We also gave the costs, dates and times of the courses (see below).
A poster advertising the various courses is available from our BCOA Administration Officer.
