The SE Umpire Development Team provides support, including coaching and assessing, for panel umpires (EHO - Gold/Silver/Legacy members) taking neutral appointments. The team also runs a range of support activities for umpires across SE.
The Development Team supports umpires of all ages to help them reach their potential.
The Team aims to create a tailored approach for each appointed panel umpire. The Team also aims to watch every appointed panel umpire at least once per season, with many getting intensive coaching. Any panel umpire who wants more support is encouraged to contact their panel lead.
