We are looking to grow our umpire numbers ahead of next season

Why Umpire?

• Develop your understanding of the game (and learn the rules!)
• You get to see great hockey & get more involved in the club!
• You get paid and without you we cannot play matches!

FAQs

Who can umpire? Anyone - you don’t even need to be a player. You can take the L1 umpiring course once you are 14+.
Does it cost anything? It’s free to become a L1 (unassessed) umpire!
Do I have to umpire every week? Nope. We have 11 home games per season. Whatever you can do is great!
