South Area umpire training course dates fixed

UMPIRE training for new officials has been organised by the Devon Association of Cricket Officials ready for the 2012 season.

A level one course for beginners in the South area will start in March next year and run for four Saturdays until the 24^th.

The lead tutors on the course are David Moseby and Chris Shelton from the Devon League Premier Division panel.

Moseby said the course covers everything a new umpire needs to know about controlling a one-day match.

“The course is a great opportunity for anyone, whatever their experience, to improve their skills and knowledge,” said Moseby, the South area training officer for DACO.

“It is also the chance to attain a national qualification and get more enjoyment out of the game.

“We cover all relevant laws, field craft and how to manage a match.”

Cost of the course is £65 and include an illustrated work book, Tom Smith’s cricket law book, a CRB check arranged, membership of DACO for a year, insurance cover and lunch at every session.

The venue is Brixham CC and running times are 9.30am to 1pm.

To book a place contact Moseby on 01803 851203, or through an email to david.moseby@btinternet.com.
