NSBHA Pre-season Program - Beginner Umpiring Development

NSBHA is offering an entry level opportunity for players, beginner umpires or parents to participate in a hockey umpire development program ideally timed within the pre-season period. 

There are FOUR education sessions available plus an opportunity to gain practical experience at the carnival.

Ideal for parents wishing to learn more about and support their child's hockey, students looking to learn a new skill via a Duke of Edinburgh program, those keen to equip themselves to join a club umpiring program this season.

The program provides a unique opportunity to learn to umpire through an education session, direct mentoring support and the opportunity to practice your umpiring in a non-intimidating game environment. 

Participation is FREE OF CHARGE.   All sessions at KHC.
