Attention VILFHA Members As you all know, VILFHA has taken on the task of developing new umpires and providing coaching and support to umpires currently in the system. Though we have been success with the coaching of current umpires, we have been less successful adding new umpires into the system. You also know that several teams have not been providing umpires, as per their membership obligation.
In order to encourage and support teams with their umpiring obligations VILFHA is offering teams two incentives:
1. Free registration in the upcoming Provincial umpiring course, March 23 & 30 (NCI, 6-9pm) - one registration for each team in VILFHA.
2. Reduction in 2009-2010 team fees for those team who regularly supply umpires (to be calculated mid and end of season)
In addition to the free course registration, participants will be given the opportunity to train in the spring junior league and receive one-on-one coaching sessions through the season.
The registration for the course can be found online: http://www.fieldhockeybc.com/Umpires/UmpireEducation/ProvincialUmpirin gCourseVictoriaMarch2009/tabid/581/Default.aspx
The course will be conducted by Alison Sweeten and Denise McGeachy. Denise will continue to coordinate umpire coaching and development through the spring junior season. Please contact either one if you have any questions.
