On most league Saturdays we need to provide umpires for 6-10 matches across a wide range of Mens, Ladies and Masters London divisions.
If you're new to umpiring we'll provide you with all the advice you need and pair you with experienced umpires for your first games which will be at or below your playing level. Last season new umpires rated their first game 3.8 out of 5 for Enjoyability and subsequent games 4+. As you progress we'll provide full ongoing support with the aim that you can umpire at a frequency and standard that suits you whilst enjoying every game.
We urgently need more people willing to umpire both occasionally and regularly so please get in touch with Jim (our umpire cordinator) via umpiring@thehockeyclub.co.uk if you'd like to try it out in either capacity.
And everyone knows umpiring makes you a better player!
