Leinster Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association (LCU&SA) would like to announce the following courses that will be held in the coming months.
It’s Your Call – Umpire Education Stage One
This is designed to give you an overview of the basic Laws of the game and how to apply them, as well as introduce the principles of field craft and match management. It will give you the tools to enable you to umpire matches at the basic recreational level, where there are no independent umpires appointed.
It’s Your Call – Umpire Education Stage Two
This course is designed to give you further knowledge and skills to enable you to become a member of a league panel and is available if you have attended and completed Stage One.
It will complement that course by looking beyond the basic laws, building on field craft and match management techniques, and introducing the concept of working as a team with a colleague.
This year, we are going back to courses being conducted in person, and below are the details of the courses and its venue. Considering the point system that Cricket Leinster is looking for in the future, we are conducting two sets of courses to accommodate more members.
