Hockey WA are seeking umpires for the 2025 Hockey WA Rising Stars Umpire Academy. The program will see our umpires officiating the 9/10 Division 1 games on Sunday mornings. Please consider the following criteria when deciding to nominate for the program in 2025:

1. Umpires should be at a level ready to umpire at the 9/10 Div 1 grade.

2. Participants will be expected to attend a pre-season umpire briefing. 

3. Participants will be expected to attend umpire workshops throughout the 2025 season.

4. Participants must make themselves available to umpire regularly.

5. Participants are expected to be at a level where they are capable of umpiring 9/10 Division 1 so we can concentrate on development of skills, not teaching basic umpiring techniques.

6. Participants are expected to arrive at games 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start, and stay for a de-brief with your coach after the game.

7. Participants will be expected be professional at all times, not only in their appearance, but also in the way they interact with players, coaches, other umpires, and umpire coaches. This Expression of Interest closes on Friday 14th March 2025 at 11:59pm.
