Dear Convenors,
The Umpire Section (US) has identified a need to carry out some training for our Premier League Match Officials, and to further enhance the role to make it more similar to the FIH Technical Official (TO) role. The US intends to arrange this training to be online, and to be held on Thursday January 11th 2024.
This course is for all existing Match Officials, and is open to those who would like to learn to become a TO in readiness to take appointments. If there are sufficient resources after the course then the US may consider to approach the MS & WS with a proposal to expand the coverage of TOs to include Division 1 as well as Premier. Please note that this is far from being a certainty at this time.
The Course will be held online. Please see details as follows:
Date: 11 January 2024 (Thursday)

Venue: Online
Instructor: Alfred Chan
Language: English
