You can never have enough umpires…
Together with England Hockey we delivered a revamped course throughout the 2017-18 season to get more senior and junior players, parents and enthusiasts through the Level 1 Umpiring Course. In total nearly 150 new Level 1 umpires were added!
Since then we into the 2024-2025 season and along with other local clubs getting involved in the course provision especially designed for those with busy London or family lives.
LEVEL 1 COURSE
The course itself, and the required assessment, to pick up that all important Level 1 Umpiring Certificate, will be delivered by EH tutors together with Umpiring Officers – ALL ONLINE!
You can sign up to an England Hockey Online course here: https://hockeyhub.englandhockey.co.uk/officiating-offer
For the junior age groups from U14 and above, we continue to run an Introduction to Umpiring Courses. Our U16/U18 squads will be expected to join the regular Level 1 Umpiring courses and obtain their qualification as we build the umpire force of the future.
In the meantime, for any support on hockey rules and umpiring please ask our Umpiring Officer, Dion Oliver. Please note he is not responsible for sourcing umpires for matches.

Please do get in touch if you would like to be assessed for your Level 1 umpiring course. Whether you have taken the course recently or a while back with us or are at another local club – please do get in touch so we can arrange an assessment for you.
