Youth Umpire Award
The purpose of the award is to provide young people new to umpiring with an opportunity to develop a better understanding of the role and techniques of the umpire and the Rules of Hockey. It introduces and motivates an abundance of young players, young spectators and young leaders into an area of the game that for many remains unexplored.
The award is aimed at young players and students in schools, clubs, district coaching programmes, and colleges throughout the country. Anyone from 12 to 18 years old, who has a basic knowledge of hockey will learn from completing the award. All registered schools, clubs and other groups are able to access the award. It can be delivered in either modular format or across part of a day. Players completing the assessment, both the theory and practical sections, will be able to umpire youth hockey games.
The Scottish Hockey Union Youth Umpire Award is available at £3 per head to all registered schools and clubs, non-registered schools and clubs will have an additional registration fee of £20 for the course and £3 per head.
