Exe HC Needs You
Posted by Admin 02 on 10 January 2017
As a club we need more members to take up umpiring. We already have 7 player/umpires i.e. Gemma Barnett, Hannah Owen, Karen Tinley, Clare Whitworth, JoJo Bannister, Roxy Lewis & Katie Parr who help out with umpiring around their playing commitments but need more to assist our other overstretched volunteer umpires and make the work of our Umpiring Coordinator a little easier.
Without umpires games, including junior fixtures, cannot be played. See our umpiring page for more information.
There is an Umpiring Course in Exeter on Sunday19th March 09.00 - 16.40hrs. At the end of the course you will be able to umpire junior fixtures, friendlies and Summer League to build up your confidence to possibly be able to umpire Petroc Division 2 fixtures next season....or you could ask to be assessed to enable you to umpire Petroc Division 1 and above fixtures.
The cost is £50 and the Club will reimburse any candidate who is prepared to umpire at least 3 times a season for the Club. You can only book through the England Hockey website and payment must be made at the time of booking. Use this link to book.
Prior to attendance on the course you do a simple online rules test - this test is free so why not surprise yourself and find out how much you already know (just follow the information on the above link).
If you want more information please contact either Emma Hulme exehockeycdo@gmail.com or Jenny Mitchell exehcfixtures@gmail.com
Please don't delay as we know that places on the course are filling fast.
