A great way to continue
or commence direct participation in the game
To umpire in Western Australia’s premier cricket
competition, the WACA District Competition (senior
and junior), a high level of knowledge and competency
is expected. Prospective umpires are required to enrol
in Cricket Australia’s Umpiring Accreditation
Scheme Level 2 and pass an assessment paper on the
Laws of Cricket.
Accreditation does not have to be completed before
commencing umpiring as demonstrating on-field competency
as an umpire is a requirement of the course.
We need umpires so everything possible is done to
ensure you reach the accepted level of competency.
The cost of the accreditation course is $60, which
provides all the materials – workbook, coaching
manual, training DVD, CD-Rom and Laws booklet.
Included in the course is a weekend seminar/camp which
focuses on the techniques of umpiring. An additional
fee of $40 (payable on confirmation of attendance)
is charged for catering for this. Living in at the
camp is optional.
As part of the Level 2 Accreditation Course, lectures
on the Laws of Cricket will be conducted on 4 nights,
one per week, followed by an assessment paper. The
Laws course can be done separately for a fee of $10.
Before commencing any umpire course you should
