Neutral assignments
Assignments are coordinated centrally to improve fairness and consistency across divisions.
HCCA & APCL Umpiring Program
Professional officiating for APCL and HCCA-sanctioned matches across Round Rock and Hutto
HCCA runs a centralized umpiring panel for APCL and club-sanctioned cricket. Our standard is clear: fair match control, consistent decision-making, and respectful game environments.
The panel supports fixtures at both Hill Country Cricket Ground (HCCG) and Hutto Cricket Ground, with alignment to USA Cricket and ICC learning pathways.
Program pillars
Training and certification
Officials are encouraged on USA Cricket and ICC-aligned learning tracks.
Quality and feedback
Post-match feedback loops support ongoing improvement and panel development.
