Level 1 Umpiring Award
This Award is the passport to umpiring competitive hockey in England and is aimed at those who wish to take their umpiring seriously and officiate in local leagues and club games/events. The Award involves four hours of classroom tuition, three unsupervised practice games, an examination paper and a practical assessment on an 11 a-side game. Each County is responsible for it's own register of Level One umpires and courses are regularly organised. Once accredited, Level One Umpires are required to umpire a minimum of five games a year. If they are player umpires, the requirement is reduced to three. For more detailed information on the Level One Award, click here.
