All clubs in Japan have to provide umpires for games in each of the leagues they compete in. The Chiba Sharks have an umpiring coordinator who arranges the umpiring schedule and administers the umpiring activities for each league. Sharks members are expected to volunteer for umpiring duty if they have the necessary cricket knowledge and experience.
For those looking to learn umpiring, a good place to start is the ICC`s Umpiring Foundation course, available for free in the ICC Ed app, available to download here : https://www.edapp.com/icc/
