Online Stage One Umpire Course - FREE
An online Stage One Umpire course is available free of charge.
This course is the first in the ECB ACO umpire’s pathway and is normally £30 to attend the face to face to course.
This course is designed to give an overview of the basic Laws of the game and how to apply them and introduce the principles of field craft and match management.
The course is an ideal introduction for new club umpires, a refresher for existing umpires and the first step for those who aspire to umpire at higher levels.
To complete the Stage Two Umpire course, candidates need to have completed a Stage One course.
