We would just like to remind you about the Umpires course at St Josephs School, Ipswich on Sunday March 3rd. Full details and registration are available on the weblink below, however the course will cover;
– Understanding the role of the umpire
– Gain a basic understanding of umpiring the game
– Answering appeals and the common methods of dismissal
– How to communicate effectively with all stakeholders in the game
– Judging whether or not it is safe to play
To register for the course, please click on the following link and follow the instructions. Thank-you
This will be the first time for a while that Suffolk have run an Umpires ECB ACO accredited course, so an ideal opportunity for people to register and at the very least help out with umpiring at their club (eg Junior cricket, women’s, mens cricket). For those wishing to use the qualification to umpire in the Two Counties ( twocounties.com – Two Counties Cricket Championship ) the Umpires & Scorers Association have kindly decided to refund the full £70 booking fee to anybody who takes and passes the course and umpires at least ten Two Counties matches.
