Thank you for your interest in becoming a Field Hockey umpire! Here are your next steps:

2. The Area Coordinator will send information on training and field work and other obligations to become a field hockey umpire.
3. Take the FREE NFHS online “Officiating Field Hockey” course from the NFHS Learning Center. Please send the Certificate of Completion to your Area Coordinator.
4. After you complete your training, we will invoice you $90, which covers your training fee, first-year BFHUA dues, a safety-green BFHUA umpiring shirt, a whistle and cards.

New umpire registration for the Fall 2023 season will close on August 15!  Registration for 2024 will open on January 1.
