Officiating in Cumbria
In Cumbria, we have a range of opportunties to officiate for clubs, leagues and the county as a whole. These arise at all levels, including Premier League, county trials, club fixtures, or regional festivals and tournaments. Umpires on the very first stages of their journey are supported and encouraged to move up the scale and gain in experience.

Officiating Courses
INTO OFFICIATING
The Into Officiating Course is the first step on the officiating pathway. It will help you to understand the basic rules of the game, as well as cover some of the basic positioning and movement required to enable you to ‘whistle well’ whilst being an umpire. The course is designed for people new to umpiring and new to the rules of the game. The virtual sessions form the first part of the Into Officiating Award with a successful 15-minute practical assessment (organised by your member county) required to gain the full qualification.
C AWARD UMPIRING
This course is the next step on the umpire pathway for those holders of the Into Officiating Award. It’s perfect for those of you aspiring to umpire at a higher level within your County. The course builds on the knowledge you learnt in your Into Officiating course and introduces the basics of Contact/Contest and Advantage.
B AWARD UMPIRING
The B Award course is designed for those umpires who wish to take the next step on the umpire pathway and officiate matches at a regional level. This blended course will build on current knowledge, introduce additional techniques and provide learners with examples and exercises in a practical setting to develop their performances on the court.
