The Male Under 19 Winter Squad has been announced with intent on keeping coach-player ratios low to maximise resources and learning opportunities. As always, there are multiple entry & exit points throughout pathway programs. A small crew here with spots up for grabs once the season starts.

We know junior coaches especially have to fulfil many roles- including umpiring matches. Why not equip yourself with all the knowledge to help you do this.

This accreditation is designed to give first-time umpires the skills and knowledge they need to stand in a cricket match!
