Dear All,

UKITF will be holding an Umpire Course on the 15th July 2023, the venue will be UKITF HQ, The Unit, Victoria Lane, Harlington, UB3 5EW.

This course is in preparation for the UKITF Nationals in October, which are being held at Hatfield University.

We would like to encourage as many candidates as possible to attend, in order to start your qualification process towards becoming a UKITF Umpire. This course is open to all black belts 16 years+ and is valid for two years.

The course is for new umpires and umpires requiring renewing their qualification from 2021, alike, all aspects of the competition disciplines will be covered. We will include current ITF updates.  The course is designed to build confidence, knowledge and understanding especially following the unexpected time away from physical competition.

I am extremely passionate about ensuring we provide our competitors with the best possible experience and fairest results. I would like to encourage competitors and those who wish to take their Taekwon-Do training to the next level to attend, I will be running the course along with other senior members of UKITF.

Although we cover every part of the tournament rules you will only be asked to umpire what you are comfortable with on the day.

Please email umpires@uk-itf.com to register your interest.

Thank you in advance for your support

Kind Regards

Mike Owen

UK ITF Umpire Chair
