The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an umpire course in partnership with the ECB.
This course is designed to give new umpires with necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to stand as an umpire in cricket. No prior experience of umpiring is required before attending the course.
The content is appropriate for people who support junior softball cricket, all the way through to adult cricket.
The course will take place at Kings Heath Cricket Club on two consecutive Tuesday evenings, July 23rd and July 30th, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
The course covers the following topics:
- Understanding the role of the umpire
- Gain a basic understanding of umpiring the game
- Answering appeals and common methods of dismissal
- How to communicate effectively with all stakeholders in the game
- Judging whether or not it is safe to play
The course is divided into classroom and practical learning components, and we recommend attendees dress appropriately for both.
