Umpire Training
Why become
an Umpire?
This is one of the first questions we ask anyone attending our training
courses and one that attracts a number of different responses:
-
"I
want to give something back to the game I love"
-
"As
club chairman, I think it is important that we have a qualified Umpire in
the Club"
-
"I
enjoy bowls at the top level. I am not a good enough bowler but by being a
good Umpire I can still be involved"
-
"I
want to understand the game I play"
You should be
aware that if it is your intention to make a living out of bowls umpiring, its
impossible. It is all about volunteering!
How
we can help
The aim of the EBUA is to provide all applicants with the knowledge and skills
required to qualify as an Umpire and then support them through their career.
It may be that you only want to attend the course and not take the examination
– this benefits you as an individual, your club and fellow bowlers.
It may be that you want to progress to the very top and be involved in
International events.
Our aim is to support you, no matter where you want to go.
