Latest Umpiring News

Umpire Image

The IOMHUA in association with North Hockey, have launched their own web site at www.iomhua.org

This website will be the reference point for all umpiring appointments. Clubs are requested to provide feedback on the umpires via their Club Accounts and Umpires will provide feedback on their umpiring experience via their Individual Accounts.

This has been a significant investment by the IOMHUA in terms of money and time and it is hoped that this in conjuction with the local umpire coaching initiative will help in the development of the umpiring in the Isle of Man.

For all things umpiring please see Umpiring Section

A new attachment has been added with some umpiring tips from Chris Todd, one of the top umpires of recent years.

There is also a link to the FIA Rules of hockey video library where a number of short clips with explanations can be found. Follow this link
