Coaching Sessions

A range of coaching sessions are generally held every week (refer to the Season Planner on the News & Information page for more detail). At these sessions coaches will take you through rules, interpretations and skills you require to umpire on the weekend. A Season Planner is published in advanced so umpires can plan their nights.
