Young Umpire Opportunities

Hi All,

Quick introduction about Young Umpires and the opportunities. I have tried to make this simply as there is generally a lot of information. Please pass this onto all your youngsters in the club please.

What is the Young Umpires:

We are a branch of the officiating team that are here to help the development of Young Umpires aged between ages of 13 & 23, through organised events.

Expectations:

There are no expectations as many of the Young Umpires who we have worked with have continued to play while they have continued their development.

Who is running it:

This is managed by a Lead Co-Ordinator who organises opportunities for the Young Umpires and the opportunity to get coaching from experienced team of Umpire Coaches.

Events:

Opportunities for to be part of include –

              In2Hockey Area Finals – 27^th March

              Performance Centre Competition Days – 1^st May/19^th June/10^th July

              County Matchdays – 10^th April/1^st May/8^th May/15^th May/22^nd May
