Try out the UH Umpires Development Workshop

To assist developing umpires within Clubs, Ulster Hockey will be running a series of umpire workshops in September, October and November across the province.

The format for the workshop will be as follows:-
- Introduction
- Pre-match preparation
- Areas of control & Positioning – Open play/Penalty Corners/Penalty Strokes.
- Communication and control – Cards, Signals, Verbal, where to send suspended players.
- Game Management – Players/Benches/Spectators.
- Identifying and explaining offences
- Areas of Difficulty – self pass, free hits, aerials, 5 metres, obstruction, etc
- Code of Conduct
- Question and Answer session
*** You will be expected to have a basic knowledge of the rules of hockey. This is NOT a rules test. However rules interpretations will be discussed, along with club umpire support.
The cost is £25. Places are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis and will only be confirmed upon receipt of payment.
NOTE - the hockey club will actively support any member interested in attending and will refund any associated fees and expenses
