With 15 senior and numerous junior teams playing on a weekly basis, the club is always in need of umpires to ensure the games can go ahead. Our teams range from National League and North West Premier, where the umpires are assigned, to teams playing in the local league so there really is a level to suit all abilities.

Umpires that are just starting out are given the opportunity to develop at a level that they are absolutely comfortable with before they go on to more challenging games, once they are ready. We have an informal ‘buddy’ system where more experienced umpires will come along and watch and give tips to help you improve.

For more experienced umpires, we offer as many opportunities as possible to get coaching from peers and NHUA umpire coaches. This can be for those aspiring to achieve their level 2 or simply for level 1 qualified umpires who wish to hone their skills.

You do not have to be a member of the club to umpire for Didsbury Northern and there is no long-term commitment so if you can only do the odd game, we will be able to accommodate you. Please get in touch if you would like to give umpiring a go and are keen to get qualified or if you are already qualified and would like to get some games under your belt.
