With over 17 days of Festivals requiring Youth Umpires the CJCA has opened registrations for Youth Boys and Girls who wish to be appointed to the variety of Festivals that the Association organises over the 2025/26 season.
Youth Umpires are asked to indicate which events they wish to be considered for
The Festivals requiring Youth Umpires at this stage are
CJCA Boys Spring Festival – Sunday 19th October, 2nd & 9th November – venues Polo Grounds, Warren Park & Burnside Park
CJCA Girls School Festival – 6th & 7th November (Release letters available) – payment in Cricket Express vouchers

CJCA Boys Summer Festival – Sundays 22nd February, 1st & 8th March – venues – Polo Grounds & Burnside Park
Those registering are asked to confirm if they have completed the Level 1 Umpring Course, have umpired previously at CJCA events or are seeking additional opportunities for Umpire Training.
Priority will be given to Girls to Umpire at Girls events but Boys may be required in the Girls Festival in January due to the expected number fo venues and games at this growing event. The Girls Spring Festival is still to be confirmed.
Umpires will be reimbursed for their time at a rate of $50 per day umpired with the Schools events being remunerated via Cricket Express vouchers.
Letters to request leave from School for the Schools Festival are easily able to be obtained.
Appointments aim to be confirmed two weeks from the dates of the events once team entries are closed and it is hoped to confirm Appointments for the Janaury Festival by early DECEMBER again when team entries are confirmed.
Umpires with siblings involved in events should indicate this on the form so we can place them at the same venue.
