Courses for Umpires
This section contains detailed information about the new ECB course for cricket umpires, the necessary prerequisites to apply (if any) and booking information when the course is available.
ECB Course
The ECB Umpire Course is designed to give new umpires the key skills, knowledge and confidence to stand as an umpire in cricket. No prior experience of umpiring in cricket is required before attending the course.
Whether you plan to support Junior Softball cricket through to adult cricket, this course will cover the following topics:
– 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
The course is split into classroom and practical learning, so we recommend learners to come dressed appropriately.
Learners will be asked to complete some e-learning before attending the course, which will take no more than 90 minutes to complete in total. Pre-learning can be completed via multiple visits or in one go.
Pre-requisites:
Learners must be 14 years of age at the time of the course.
Cost £70.00
There is some help available with costs – for details please contact David Oliver of Durham ACO on davids.oliver@btinternet.com
Post course, learners will have the confidence and competence to go and umpire at appropriate levels within recreational cricket.
