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 and is ideal for parents who want to get more involved or 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
• Recording wickets and extras
• Scoresheet balancing

Club Scorer Course

Club Scorer is the course for anyone wanting scoring on a regular basis and is the only one to comprehensively teach you how to score. This course is suitable for complete beginners and existing scorers who want to improve their skills. On completion of the course you will receive an ECB ACO Club Scorer attendance certificate.

Scorers Roadshow

This is an open session to discuss and try out all things scorers and scoring - no fixed agenda; no need to join anything; open to all.  The programme is likely to include some practical scoring, use of DLS, electronic scoring using PCS Pro, and the role of the scorer.  You may opt to attend all day or just for the morning or afternoon session.
