What are the roles of the 2 umpires?
Whistle
Fox 40 classic/ mini is the standard - Practice using your whistle – players practice their stick work all the time Use a ‘spitting’ action to get the short sharp sounds.
Whistle tones
Short and sharp Short, sharp but louder Longer and louder Very loud and long
Holding the whistle
Don’t keep it in your mouth!! Keep it in your hand. The delay in putting to mouth may allow you time to give advantage Only keep it in place during your sound or if you need to give a couple of tweets to get a players
attention
Talk To Captains, and/or senior players if the captain is the issue Verbal Warning Cards – Green (2) / Yellow (5) / Yellow (10) / Red Remain calm. Sometimes it requires you to be the calming person on the field, if
you too are flustered, the players will continue to heighten the situation.
Never respond to spectator abuse. That is the role of the venue. Take action
Be pro-active – recognise and call penalties early Set standards early – TALK to the players Be definite and firm with decisions and communication Don’t take criticisms personally Be professional, remain calm, address the problem – not the emotions
Too Friendly Too Authorative Flow Control
Be professional, remain calm, address the problem – not the emotions Hold the card up high and in the direction of player (& Tech Bench if there is one) Try not to engage in conversations, Name/number and a point in the direction of where the offence occurred (if delayed) Stay relaxed!

In your role as an Umpire, you may come across environments where children are participating in sport.
ALL umpires and technical officials operating within our competitions and events
need to provide Hockey WA a copy of their current Working With Children Card.
WA State law, specifically the Working with Children (Criminal Record Checking)
Act 2004, requires anyone working with children to assess whether they need to have a Working with Children Check (WWCC).
Make sure you have read the
Local rules will apply to timing
Goal Keepers
“A mandatory experiment is introduced with effect from 1 January 2019
They either play with a Goalkeeper who wears protective equipment comprising at
least headgear, leg guards and kickers and who is also permitted to wear goalkeeping hand protectors and other protective equipment,
Or they play with Field Players only. Any change between these options should be
treated as a substitution.
“This mandatory experiment leads to changes in many other Rules as the
“The explanation how to treat free hits for the attacker
All opponents must be 5m from the ball If a free hit is taken quickly and a player is within 5m of the ball but is not
playing/attempting to play the ball/influence play, the taking of the free hit does not need to be delayed. Once the ball has travelled 5m, this player can then play the ball. Be consistent in this judgement.
An attacking free hit awarded within 5m of the circle: If the free hit is
taken immediately the defenders who are inside the circle within 5m of the free hit may shadow (around the inside of the circle) a player who takes a self-pass, provided that they do not play or attempt to play the ball or influence play until it has either travelled at least 5m or the ball has been touched by another player.
If the attacker chooses not to take the free hit immediately, all other
players must be at least 5m from the ball before the free hit is taken. *Umpires must proactively manage these situations.
If the ball hits a piece of equipment lying in the circle and a probable
Injector sent to the Half Line
Taken from anywhere inside the circle. (ball must be stopped first)
Is the player trying to play the ball? Is there a possibility to play the ball? Is there active movement to prevent the playing of the ball? Watch for professional use of the body to illegally block opponents
Watch for players trying to demonstrate obstructions by lifting their
STICK OBSTRUCTION – Judge if fairly and correctly and blow only if you
Watch the stick of the player with the ball carefully – if the stick of the
Watch for the stick moving away from the ball to ‘check’ the tackler’s
Do Not penalise just because there is a noise or it looks bad!
Ensure free hits are set up correctly, with players 5m from the ball. Blow only in dangerous situations. Watch the path of the ball on the way up – the ball must not be
Watch the ball landing – apart from the receiver, players must stay
If a lifted ball is moving into a group of players blow early even if
An attacker receiving a falling aerial ball must be in a clear
A player approaching from outside 5m can legitimately
Allow as much advantage as possible. Know the game, learn the players
Verbal and non-verbal communication of advantage – “play on”. Sometimes a free hit is a better advantage and causes less frustration. Timing of the whistle is crucial. So is the tone if going back to a delayed
