Recruitment for ECB YORKSHIRE PREMIER LEAGUES NORTH & SOUTH Umpires Panel 2017
We are looking to expand The Yorkshire Premier Leagues umpires panel for North & South for the 2017 season and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity to join the panel, which covers all appointments in Yorkshire Leagues North & South and includes the One Day Cup & T20 competitions.
We intend that the panel will provide a pathway for aspiring umpires in the county to umpire the top games. We already have an excellent panel providing a wealth of experience and commitment to developing colleagues.
Any umpire that has passed Level 1A or the old ACU&S equivalent can apply. Evidence of independent observation in the last two years will be requested but is not an exclusion if one hasn’t been completed. Previously unsuccessful applicants are welcome to reapply.
Umpires will be assessed against agreed criteria based on qualifications, observations and performance in their current league. A structured informal interview will take place with two members of the Umpires committee to assess the candidates. A panel will be selected to operate as Premier League reserves and stand in top division of partner leagues.
Successful candidates are expected to umpire in both leagues due to demand, however geographical location will be taken into consideration.
A structure of mentoring and support will be used for less experienced umpires and new umpires to the panel. We will also be looking to invite Umpires who show real potential during the 2017 season to officiate in some matches as a taster.
Umpires in the South Yorkshire Senior Cricket League, the York & District Senior Cricket League and the Yorkshire County Premier League should apply via their own umpires’ secretary by 25th October 2016.
Umpires in any other league should contact Jason Pitcher jasonpitcher@hotmail.co.uk or 07931961397 to obtain an application form.
