SLB National Umpires Accreditation Course in progress
The National Umpires Accreditation Course conducted by Sri Lanka Badminton (SLB), is currently in progress Colombo. Applications for the course, conducted by the SLB Technical Committee, were closed on November 28 with the programme kicking off yesterday. Today will be the final day of the course.
The National Umpires Accreditation Course is the stepping stone to becoming an internationally recognised official. Candidates who enrolled for the course will receive interactive training and guidance to keep them updated with the latest rules and regulations etc. To implement what they have learned in theory, they will be directed to officiate at future SLB-sanctioned tournaments.
Meanwhile, the SLB National Umpires Refreshes Course 2023 also took place last week. A total of 75 national umpires representing all provinces took part at this course. All participating umpires faced a written exam on the second day of the course and will be directed to the upcoming National Championships for practical assessment and grading.
