BENEFITS OF UMPIRING
Umpiring offers numerous benefits, including staying physically active and engaged in the sport of cricket. It helps develop valuable management, communication, and self-confidence skills that are transferable to professional and personal life.
Umpires play a crucial role in ensuring games are conducted fairly and safely, contributing positively to the community and the sport. The role also provides social opportunities, including meeting new people and joining a vibrant network. Additionally, umpiring can lead to travel, a deeper understanding of the game, and potential pathways to national-level officiating.
