Education & Training for Umpires

ECB ACO Introduction to Umpiring Course

ACO are pleased to announce the launch of a new, FREE online umpiring education module. This is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the development of officials at all levels of the recreational game and enhance the quality and consistency of officiating.

This offer is aimed at those who are interested to know more about the key laws of the game and how to umpire, without committing to the formal ECB Umpire Course. Completion of this learning does NOT grant access to the ECB Umpire Progression Pathway and completing the full ECB Umpire Course is required to join the pathway.

ACCESS: The module is open and free to all and can be accessed here.

CONTENT: Designed to provide foundational knowledge of the game of cricket, the learning is aimed at those who are new to cricket, umpiring or are a parent/guardian looking to support their child at their club.

DURATION: The module takes approximately 60 minutes to complete.

MINIMUM AGE: Minimum age is 13 years old.

COST: Free of charge
