TWO courses have been set up for would-be cricket umpires on March 11 and 25.
The courses are ideal for the retiring cricket player, for those who want to learn more about the summer game, young people who want to add something different to their CV while earning a bit of money, or for those who love cricket but were never good enough to play.
You do not have to have played the game, and, whether you want to join a league umpiring panel, or just umpire your kids in the local soft ball, or AllStars events, then these courses are for you.
The Stage 1 umpiring course is on March 11 at Giggleswick School, and the Stage 2 is being held at Settle Cricket Club on March 25.
To apply for these courses, which cost £30 each (both can be signed up for £40), head to www.yorkshirecb.com/page/officials/education/umpires-courses-5611/
