Coaching stoolball

Coaching in schools

Stoolball England offers free coaching in schools whenever we can get funding to do it. We are always looking for volunteers or companies to help us coach more schools.

Umpiring, scoring and Level 1 coaching courses

Our courses for stoolball umpires and scorers are typically held together. The two groups learn their subjects in separate indoor sessions, then come together outside to umpire and score a practice match. We also run Level 1 courses for people who wish to become stoolball coaches.
