If you’re looking to take your first steps into umpiring, England Hockey offers a flexible and supportive learning pathway designed to fit around your schedule. Whether you’re confident making decisions on the pitch or just getting started, there’s a course for you.

Once you’ve gained some experience, your local Area Officiating Committee  can help you find matches and develop your skills further. If you decide to progress, there are clear steps all the way to national and international level.

So, whether you want to support your club or dream of officiating at the top level, it all starts with the first course.

Find more information below on Level 1 Umpiring.

A small number of umpires each year will complete a programme of study to complete their National Hockey Umpire award, allowing them to become a member of the National Programme Umpiring Association (NPUA). Working closely with England Hockey, the NPUA is responsible for the development of umpires operating in the National Leagues and internationally.
