Umpiring Taster Session Registration Form
If you are going to join our taster session on Tuesday 09 November 2021, we ask each participant to download the FIH Rules of Hockey 2021 document and come prepared with the following points:
- t
- Read rules 6-14 and pick out what you think the most important sub rules are (example 13.6(a) or 14.5, etc) – Remember there are no right or wrong answers but everyone needs to have an opinion for the session
- Memorise umpiring signals on pages 49-50 (or click on signals.jpg (612×792) (bp.blogspot.com) for graphic representation)
- Have any question ready if you don’t understand the rules when you read them

So what’s in it for me?
Good question,,,we know that you are passionate about hockey as you are still reading this…
You get to become a valuable member of our family by helping out with umpiring duties (when you are available of course, we do understand that you have other commitments!)
Moreover, if you are a WHC player (juniors or seniors) or have a child that plays for Wycombe Hockey Club, by umpiring matches, you or your child can offset match fees through umpiring credits!
For the non-player, we will pay £10 for every match you umpire.
