Captains' & Managers' Seminars

As a service to the players and teams of Swiss Cricket, we are offering to host a number of evenings (both in the east and west of Switzerland as required) where we shall help clarify any aspects of the laws of the game and answer any questions you may have. It is also a good opportunity to meet as many players and administrators of the game in this country and reinforce our committment to providing the best standard of umpiring to all. Although our target audience are the team Captains and Managers, we certainly welcome anyone else interested in attending.

Match Officials

We are able to appoint qualified umpires and scorers to officiate at cricket matches in Switzerland as well as to provide representative officials for international fixtures involving Swiss sides. For more detailed information or to request match officials, please email. The Umpires and Scorers of sFOCUS are determined to provide the best standard of umpiring and scoring in as many games as possible. The fee payable remains CHF 40 per sFOCUS Official per game.
