Booking forms for the Umpires and Scorers courses are available to be downloaded using this link and returned together with payment to our Education Officer when completed.
We run a number of varying courses depending on what is the best route for you. i.e. whether you just want knowledge of the laws, umpire casually or frequently for a club or progress to a league panel and beyond.
We have produced a course handout explaining the benefits. This is available in printed form from our committee members.
A flyer advertising the various courses is available from our Education Officer or by clicking on the poster to the right of this page.

Umpires Level 1A Courses and Scorers Level 1 Supported Development 2017
We will be running a Level 1 Supported Development programme for both our Umpires and Scorers. The table below details the dates of the workshops. Contact our Secretary for more information on how to book on to the programme.
You ideally should have passed an Umpires Level 1 Assessment or attended a Club Scorers Course as appropriate. Please read our Training Programme page for more detail.
This programme is designed to build on the knowledge of the law and techniques 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
