They are S1 on 4th - 25th February and S2 on 11th March - 1st April, inclusive, The S1 course (Club Umpire) is designed to give you an overview of the basic Laws of the game and how to apply them and introduce the principles of field craft and match management. The S2 course is designed to give you further knowledge and skills to enable you to become a member of a league panel. It will complement the S1 course by looking beyond the basic laws, build on field craft and match management techniques and introduce the concept of working, as a team, with a colleague.
