This program is a great opportunity for 8th-12th graders! NO COST!

 

Wellesley Youth Field Hockey will be training student umpires during our Spring youth league.  We will provide the online modules and on-the-field training for any high school student who wants to become a field hockey umpire.  Learning to be an umpire will expand your knowledge of the sport to make you a smarter player on the field.  It will also prepare you to officiate games in the summer and fall of this year.  Field Hockey officiating is a great way to make extra money and continue to enjoy the sport that we love.
