What we do
Our purpose
The Hockey Umpiring Trust’s purpose is to endlessly inspire and challenge the continuous improvement of hockey umpiring, in a fun and educational way. Challenging current convention and removing barriers.
Aiming to unite the hockey community, through events and conversations – players, coaches, spectators, and umpires alike. Our objective is to offer opportunities and events to come together and simply… talk hockey!
community
We value everyone’s contribution, because together we are better.
Innovation
Pioneering and championing new ideas and approaches.
Inclusion
We learn from diversity of thought and ideas.
We are disruptors
Sharing
Knowledge
By sharing knowledge and stimulating greater understanding of the game we all love, we hope to encourage diversity of thought, to inspire the improvement of umpiring.
We don’t want to be boring, so we’re throwing out the rule book (controversial?!) and current convention, to remove barriers to increase participation and access to knowledge.
Blending our passion for hockey with skills, capabilities and perspectives from wider life and work experiences - we aim to challenge the boundaries previously applied to umpiring and disrupt the mainstream methods for learning.
Share, Listen, Learn.
Join our community, unite with others, and help make umpiring better.
there are over 30000 hockey umpires in the UK
join the conversation...
We’re going to do some vodcasts, podcasts and produce some resources which invite people to think differently . We hope you’ll be interested in the topics and enjoy them and, if you do, then we’ll go from there.
