The Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Association of Cricket Officials (CHACO) is the county association of the ECB Association of Cricket Officials (ECB ACO) and a member of the Cambridgeshire Cricket Limited.
We have over 50 members who support local cricket by providing umpires and scorers at all levels in the county and surrounding area, including the East Anglian Premier League. This includes local league cricket, county age groups, local clubs, all youth and colt levels, university and schools matches - men and boys, women and girls.
Scorers are an integral part of the Association, with opportunities for scoring at all levels up to Cambridgeshire County Cricket Club, Cambridge University first team and Cambridge University Cricketing Centre of Excellence. We have Scorer members of all ages from 16 up to 80 who support East Anglian cricket at all levels up to Cambridgeshire CCC matches.
Both our umpires and scorers play a full part in CHACO and are well-represented on the committee.
Training courses are arranged locally for both umpires and scorers, both for initial training and for subsequent continuing professional development (CPD). We look to arrange courses to meet the specific development needs of our members, at all levels. We also develop and run courses for our local leagues to raise the profile and standard of officiating.
The Association meets every month from October to April.
