Umpiring In Wales

The Welsh Hockey Umpires Association (WHUA) is a members organisation for hockey umpires and technical officials from across Wales. The WHUA in association with Hockey Wales strives to provide an environment where members can fulfill their potential and get maximum enjoyment from the sport of hockey, at whatever level that may be.
​
The WHUA has a very proud history of providing an excellent standard of umpires and officials to tournaments not only in Wales but throughout the world.  The WHUA would like to not only continue this trend at the highest level, but attract new members for grass roots hockey and every level in between.

Fundamentally the aims of the WHUA are:

• To improve the standard of umpiring and umpire coaching both indoor and outdoor
• To appoint umpires / technical officials to matches as and when required
• To provide a system of grading for umpires
• To provide coaching and development opportunities at all levels
• To protect the interests of umpires and officials
