Umpires
For the 2023 Junior Country Championships there is a strong focus on the development of regional umpires. As in recent years Regional Associations or individuals within may nominate to umpire at the Junior Country Championships in 2023. Hockey Victoria will be supporting the development of umpires by providing Qualified Umpire Coaches and feedback throughout the championship for participants. It is recommended that for each team that is entered, one umpire is supplied for the championship from the association. The value of this opportunity is to continue growth and develop skills in an external environment. Umpires are welcome to stay with the team and need to nominate via the EOI events link listed above as well as nominating through Hockey Victoria. To register your interest to umpire at the 2023 Junior Country Championships with HockeyVic, please use the link https://form.jotform.com/hockeyvictoria/2023-outdoor-events-UMPIRES by 5pm Friday, April 14. Playing/Coaching at JCC and Umpiring: For those that wish to coach/play in the event and to umpire, there is the opportunity to request to umpire directly after NCHA games. The Umpire Manager  will work closely with the individual to roster them to umpire matches that do not conflict with their playing or coaching commitmenst. An invaluable opportunity for budding umpires in North Central. 

Hoodies
For the past few years players representing the North Central Hockey Association at the Junior Country Championships in Melbourne have worn red Hoodies with the NCHA logo embroidered on them. We recommend that all players attending the weekend have a JCC Hoodie as it is a way of unifying the teams and also to ensure easy recognition of our team players. Adults attending the JCC weekend also have the opportunity to purchase the Hoodie or alternatively there is a zip version for $50 available for adults only. Hoodies are $45, though check with your club JCC Coordinator to see if there are any second hand hoodies available.
