Umpiring Guides

The recent SHA Umpire’s Forum attended by umpires from five or six clubs focussed on ‘ How to make the umpiring experience less stressful for umpires’ and ‘How umpiring can make the game more enjoyable for players’. There are four documents below which summarises what was discussed in the forum.  Somerset HA realise that the vast majority of umpires often receive no support or coaching when they have completed their Level 1 so hopefully many will find these documents helpful.  The documents deal with Player Management, Use of Headsets, Frustration Swearing and Managing Dissent and Swearing.
