We are here to help you to discover your potential 

Whilst built on the foundations of a qualification pathway, the FIH Umpire Education framework is fundamentally about umpire development. It aims to provide opportunities for open mindset umpires to discover, observe, learn and grow, whether through an e-learning or 3hr online workshop or a 1-2 year course.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to develop umpires who are able to facilitate a safe and fair playing environment in which athletes can perform to their best.

We believe that possessing a knowledge and application of  technical hockey skills and social management skills will enable an umpire to best perform their tasks before, during and after the game
  • Have a growth mindset
  • Enable athletes to perform
  • Challenge with knowledge
  • Encourage and Inspire
