Surrey Association of Cricket Officials (SACO) has launched it's first tranche of new umpire training courses following ECB ACO's redevelopment of the education programme this winter.

ECB's new programme of umpire training sees four levels of training (Stage 1-4) aimed at providing people with a lower entry point into formal training. The new courses are shorter, cheaper and spend more time on the skills required to be a competent umpire rather than the Laws of the game which can be learned via a new online course MCC are offering.

This course - costing £30 - is designed to build on Umpire Education Stage One, covering further Laws and exploring the concept of working as part of a team with a colleague and the scorers. It is intended to introduce you to the skills and knowledge required to be a member of a league panel. Once you have completed the course, we recommend that you refresh your understanding of the Laws covered and study them more thoroughly by referring to the MCC on-line Laws resource.
