To umpire at the highest levels commitment to at least two training nights a week is required. Training is held at the TCA Oval , Glebe each Tuesday and Thursday nights, commencing at 5.00 p.m. A short meeting and training lecture often follows on Thursday night training in the H.C. Smith Stand, T.C.A. Oval, Glebe. Umpires gather socially at the North Hobart Cricket Club, H.C.Smith Stand after games on Saturday nights. Regional training at the Upper Burnie Sports Centre and Girdlestone Park, East Devonport is held Tuesday nights, commencing at 6 p. m. All umpires officiating paid according to the level of game and discipline.
Payments can be cash, and as umpiring is deemed a hobby, can be tax free.
In addition to being paid and fitness work, umpiring is a great social activity. This page was last updated on May 27, 2001. You are directed to a Disclaimer relating to the Tasmanian Online Service.
