Whether you are an experienced umpire or looking to start your umpiring journey, the adult leagues provide a dynamic and challenging environment to hone your skills. Our supportive community encourages continuous learning and professional growth, helping you advance through the ranks.

Junior League Umpiring

Anyone aged 13 years and above are encouraged to try umpiring in the Junior Spring Season – we are always looking for umpires. Umpiring in the Spring is fun, it allows a greater understanding of the game, and it provides an opportunity to earn money! Junior umpires benefit from a supportive environment where they can learn the basics of officiating, develop their confidence, and build valuable communication skills. This experience not only enhances their comprehension of field hockey but also nurtures leadership qualities and a sense of responsibility. Junior league umpiring provides a solid foundation for those interested in progressing to higher levels of officiating in the future.
