PAHF Umpiring Workshop in Trinidad– featuring Olympic renowned Soledad Iparraguirre

The Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF) will be hosting an Umpire’s Workshop from the 1st to 3rd April, at Piarco Plaza, corner of BWIA Boulevard and Churchill Roosevelt Highway.

The workshop’s facilitator is Soledad Iparraguirre and is targeting umpires from the Trinidad & Tobago Hockey Board’s (TTHB’s) domestic league. Soledad is considered by many as one of the top female umpires in the world. She has officiated in the finals of multiple Olympic Games and World Cups and “we are fortunate to have an umpire of her quality here in Trinidad and Tobago willing to share her vast experience in the finer points of adjudicating games” said Roger St Rose Chairperson of PAHF Umpiring Committee and Vice-president of TTHB.

The workshop will be hands on with a lot of practical work. You are all encouraged to attend as you will no doubt improve your ability to take charge of the challenging and complex situations that occur on the hockey field.
