ECB Association of Cricket Officials News
Even if you just wish to umpire at your son or daughter's school or score for your local village men’s or women's team, you are as vital to the game to us as any first class or county official, and so we welcome you warmly and wholeheartedly, male or female to the ECB Association of Cricket Officials.
We aim to develop competent umpires and scorers to control and guide cricket matches at every level 'From Playground to Test Arena'. The commitment from us is to provide a 'pathway' - to enable you to progress at whatever pace you prefer to whatever level you wish.
To achieve all this we operate as an independent association with the wholehearted support of the ECB and have a small team of our own executives in the main ECB office at Lord's; working through the regions to each County board, so that you are supported and represented by them and that your individual voice and views can be expressed to them and heard by us.
