Umpire Course 21 22 June 2025
Please pass this on to all contacts within your cricketing circles within Western Zone. Please ensure you register so we can organise appropriate catering.
to Register for this course please email wzoneumps@gmail.com by Friday 6th June with:
your name*
preferred email address
a contact phone number
* first name and surname as you would like it to appear on official documentation when you pass the course!
Once you register I will advise a payment method, where appropriate. Note that the course is free for existing NSWCUSA members and any female participants.
Why Me???
- umpire "full time" (with no playing or coaching commitments). Once completing the course we are keen to provide support in terms of fieldcraft and general technique not necessarily covered by the laws. Let me know if you would like details about this support.
- female umpires are a goal for this Zone. Increasingly women's cricket is using female umpires exclusively up to international level so there are some great opportunities here. Claire Polasak is currently in the role of female engagement for NSW umpires.
- continue playing, and umpire Sunday rep matches. Supporting our district/representative/junior program by umpiring even once or twice a season would be a great help.
- continue playing, and support our finals matches in local competitions if your team "doesn't make it", particularly in the first week of finals.
- existing umpires wanting (or needing) a refresher (NSWCUSA members attend free of charge - please still register)
- associations: consider whether you would like to make it "compulsory" for each club to send at least one course participant (or even one from each team)
