Into Courses!

The Into Officiating Course is the first step on the officiating pathway. It will help you to understand the basic rules of the game, as well as cover some of the basic positioning and movement required to enable you to ‘whistle well’ whilst being an umpire. The course is designed for people new to umpiring and new to the rules of the game. The virtual sessions form the first part of the Into Officiating Award with a successful 15-minute practical assessment (organised by your member county) required to gain the full qualification.

To complete the course, you need to be age 13+. However, due to a shortage of umpires in adult leagues we are currently trialling two types of INTO courses, one for learners aged 18 years and over and one for learners aged 13-17.
