It is important for all prospective Umpire and Scorer candidates in our area to understand that the only training available that will enable a route to the very top of the Officials ladder is exclusively provided by ECB, and the ECB training programme. For all aspiring Officials, whatever level they wish to attain, the ECB pathway provides them with a structured route, and support from Cricket’s National and International body. We are hoping to see strong support from clubs in nominating candidates for the training. The cost of the course will be £70 to include membership of ECB ACO nationally and Oxfordshire ECB ACO, insurance cover, CRB checks, newsletters, access to ECB ACO merchandise for both on field and leisure wear and all training materials, Law book and a copy of the new Tom Smith’s Cricket Umpiring and Scoring, plus lunch and refreshments during the course.
