UMPIRE NOTICE

To all clubs,

There appears to be a mis-understanding regards trainee umpires who attended C' courses this year. Trainee umpires in Cornwall ( at this moment in time ) CANNOT umpire 6th Division following attendance to C' course. They need to be at assessment/test level and submitted application for practical assessment. 
They will then have the opportunity to have a pre-assessment practical ONLY following this assessment and providing they meet the criteria can they do 6th Div games for the required log book. At no point will a trainee do a 6th Div or above without prior consent. 

Permission has to be granted from BOTH clubs involved in the game. This has to be done via your Umpiring secretary and the qualified mentor must be present (trainee umpires cannot sign the team sheet). Junior league is perfect for going forward with umpiring but again I must stress that until they have gained enough experience and permission they cannot do U16's U14's A  as they are 4x 10 mins games. They can do U14's B Under 12's. Also please give the opportunity for them to umpire club friendlies club training nights.

Trainee umpires were given this information on the day.

I hope this clears the matter. 
Debbie Ashworth (Umpiring secretary)
