WELCOME TO WAIKATO HOCKEY UMPIRES

Welcome to Waikato Hockey Umpires website. We aim to regularly update umpires, players, coaches and spectators on umpiring developments, issues and personalities. 

Waikato Hockey provides support and guidance for umpires officiating at all levels of local hockey. 

Our hockey has three divisions: 

Mini Hockey - for players up to year 6

School Competitions - years 7 to 13

Club Hockey - played on Saturday and Sunday.

For each of these competitions, the WHA provides the management, development and support to umpires.
