South East Hockey - Officiating Conference
As you may be aware, we ran the preseason conference at Caterham School recently. A wonderful day, great weather, fantastic hockey and a great range of speakers. We were honoured to have Margaret Hunnaball with us. Among Margeret’s accolades are FIH Umpire Manager, Umpire Manager for Paris Olympics.
The whole theme of the day was communication.
Should you want to review any of the content here is a link Presentations no video to the presentations. Because it makes the file too large this does NOT contain the videos. I suggest you run it in screen show.
There are a lot of slides – please do make sure you look at slide 59 regarding the change in procedure at penalty corners.
Should you wish to watch the sessions here are links to the two sessions Margaret did.
Sound quality is not the very best, but you can hear most of it.
