Become an RCA Umpire

Are you interested in joining the umpire community? We would be happy to welcome you to the umpiring family!

Rowing BC is committed to promoting the growth of the umpiring community and is always interested in ideas to make this pathway more user-friendly for those interested in umpiring. Have ideas? Reach out to the Rowing BC Umpire Committee.

Level 1 Assistant Umpire Clinic:

The Level 1 Assistant Umpire Clinic is available on the Coaching Association of Canada website at any time! The Assistant Umpire Clinic is:

  1. A simple, 90-minute way for those interested in umpiring to learn more and begin the Umpire Education Pathway;
  2. A fabulous opportunity for coaches and coxswains to learn the Rules of Racing and earn one professional development point; and
  3. A great refresher for any umpire at the beginning of the season.

The course is FREE! Start HERE to get an NCCP number to access the online training. The training module is available under the e-learning tab of the Coach.ca materials (look for the category ‘Rowing’ to find Assistant Umpire Clinic under ‘Available’). The course will take about 90 minutes to complete, and you can stop and re-start anytime.

Level 2 and 3 Umpire Clinics:

Umpiring in Canada is controlled by the Umpire Committee (UC) of Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA), who set the framework for umpiring across the country. The RCA UC is also responsible for the education of umpires.
