An Umpire Coach will observe you during games and help you with how you can improve your umpiring. 

The Umpire Coach will also provide feedback on what has been achieved on your checklist and and give you some items to work on. They will also let you know when the Checklist is complete.

To receive umpire coaching you will need to sign in at the Registration Office each week to let us know when and where your games are.
