Surrey Cricket Foundation

Surrey Association of Cricket Officials (SACO) are pleased to announce the return of face to face umpire training this winter.

ECB ACO's programme of umpire training sees three levels available (Stage 1-3) aimed at providing people with a lower entry point into formal training. The courses are relatively short, cheap and spend more time on the on field skills rather than the Laws of the game which can be learned via a new online course MCC are offering.

Stage 1 courses are just £30 and even include a year's free membership to ECB ACO and further discounts are available to candidates seeking to take the Stage 2 course immediately after the Stage 1 course.

All the courses are now confirmed and you can click on the links to book a place on any given course:
