Registration is now open for this summer’s field hockey umpiring course at Mercer County Community College. Participants will learn how to umpire field hockey or simply learn more about the game from the perspective of an umpire.

People have traveled as far away as Maryland and Ohio to take the course, which costs $72. The cost includes the NFHS rule book. At the middle school level, umpires make roughly $50 an hour.
