Nottinghamshire Recreational Cricket

Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, Notts ACO and the Russ Evans Foundation are excited to announce the return of the Notts Young Cricket Officials Programme.

Our Young Cricket Officials Programme will give our young officials the best training possible and utilises key partners and club mentors to support them as they begin their journey as a qualified official.

The initial one-day course will be tutored by Simon Cooper, Senior Nottinghamshire Premier League Umpire, and Amy Coyne, Bassetlaw & District Cricket League & East Midlands Women's Cricket League Umpire.

WHO’S IT FOR?
Anyone aged between 14 and 18 years old who would like to learn more about Umpiring and Scoring and is keen to volunteer some of their time back in their local cricket club or school.
