Scorers course details released for the 2023-2024 winter

In association with the Wiltshire Association of Cricket Officials (WACO) we are delighted to share details of the Scorer Education courses that will be taking place across Wiltshire this winter.

Introduction to Scoring

This is an ideal course for complete beginners or as a refresher for anyone returning to scoring. It covers the very basics of scoring using a traditional paper scorebook and is ideal for anyone who wants to get started in scoring. The aim of this course is to identify and practise the basic skills with which to record a cricket match. It doesn’t cover everything, but it will give you the tools to get started including:

• Scoring record (scoresheet)
• Umpire’s signals
• Scoring symbols
• Scoresheet balancing

Please note, this course does NOT include electronic scoring.

The venue has free parking available, with level access into the building. Hot and cold drinks are available to purchase from the bar area.

Club Scorer Course

Club Scorer is the course for anyone wanting scoring on a regular basis and is the only course to comprehensively teach you how to score. This course is suitable for complete beginners and existing scorers who want to improve their skills. Complete beginners are advised to attend the Introduction to Scoring course first.

Please bring your usual scoring equipment (pens etc), although we will have some available for you to borrow, and also pen and paper for taking notes. On completion of the course you will receive an ECB ACO Club Scorer attendance certificate. 

Please note, this course does NOT include electronic scoring.

The venue has free parking available, with level access into the building. Hot and cold drinks are available to purchase from the bar area.
