Umpire Training continues with five persons being trained and elevated to Associate Umpire status at the conclusion of the 2019 Junior National tournament held at the National Racket Sports Center in Tacarigua on June 15 - 16 and 22 - 23. The recruits, assisted and guided by seasoned umpires, were tested over the four days and at the end came out with greater knowledge and understanding of the sport.
The T.T.B.A. wishes these individuals continued success in their new role and looks forward to their participation at future tournaments and events.
