During 2024 we will be introducing the HSW Umpire Academy which is a pool of people interested in umpiring and learning more. 

Your membership and commitment will provide you with formal accreditation as an Umpire through Hockey Australia, and also open the opportunity to umpire at higher levels of hockey across the state, if you want to.

As a member of the program your commitment is to:

• Attend all umpire development coaching sessions - dates to be confirmed with all participants, a minimum of 3 sessions will be held during the season.

• Agree to go onto the HSW Umpire Roster for weekly games (to assist with facilitate mentor allocation).

• Turn out to all games as rostered wearing the HSW Umpire uniform.

• Take on mentoring and development suggestions provided and have fun.

Hockey South West will provide you with:

• Hockey South West Umpire cap & whistle ($50 Value).

• Access to purchase Hockey Victoria Officials clothing.

• Mentoring and education sessions during the year.

• Access to a network of umpire mentors to help with questions and shared learning.

To start, before the first session you will need to create a HockeyEd account (if you dan't already have one). The link to do that is HERE. Once you have iot created, we will start the journey together.
