This session will be a great chance for anyone keen to come along and get a basic understanding of umpiring as well as speaking with our experienced umpires.

This session is targeted at 2nd and 3rd grade players. In 2nd and 3rd grade there is plenty of player umpiring, so it would be great to see lots of players along to get a good basic idea of umpiring to help them into the season.

New umpires! We would love to have you along if you have any interesting in taking up umpiring cricket, all experience levels welcomed!

Join us on Monday 14th September for a 6pm start at Horton Park.
