When the Umpire shows competency of basic skill set (as above), the Club Umpire Convenor can nominate that Umpire for further enhanced skill training on senior games
The Club Umpire Convenor must discuss this nomination with the LYVNA Umpire Convenor before scheduling them for a match
When Umpiring these Senior Games an Umpire Coach will offer advice to correct and improve skills to achieve further competency in their practical umpiring
