Courses For Umpires

Profiling of Umpires

Annual Umpiring Clinic

Our annual clinic aims to bring all umpires together to provide information on topics of interest.

Do you have suggestions for topics? Are their rules you don’t understand, does something need clarifying?  Send in your ideas for the Clinic – we will do our best to include them.
