A strong focus this season will be on developing coaching skills in our current umpires, building our umpire numbers and developing skills in our existing umpires. Campbelltown is fortunate in that we have a very experienced team of convenors and national umpires who have put together a comprehensive range of structured events and programs to assist in developing our umpires. Please share the following information with all your members, not just your current umpires.
