Have you ever stood at the end and wondered 'I'm not sure I know all the laws, I hope I don't have to make a crucial decision'?
There are opportunities to boost your confidence and improve your knowledge of the laws of the game we love.
The ECB have an online course that you can do at home, in your own time, for the Stage One umpiring qualification. Having done it myself it is a good resource and only requires a few hours. Use the following link;

If you prefer a face to face course or fancy the Stage Two qualification then surrey ACO (that's the Association of Cricket Officials) are running various courses after Christmas at various locations. Use the following link to find out more:

Finally, if you have ever been handed the book and asked to score and whined 'I don't know how!', then do this online course and put a smile back on the skippers face.
