UMPIRING
Netball simply wouldn’t happen without our umpires. Every game relies on their knowledge, commitment, and dedication to ensure matches are played fairly, safely, and in the spirit of the game.
​
Our umpires give their time and energy week after week to support players, teams, and competitions at all levels. They make quick decisions under pressure, manage the flow of the game, and help create a positive environment where players can perform at their best.
​
Umpires are an essential part of our netball community. They are learners, leaders, mentors, and role models, many of whom are developing valuable skills such as confidence, communication, and decision-making both on and off the court.
​
We ask all players, coaches, parents, and spectators to show respect and appreciation for our umpires at every match. Positive support, understanding, and encouragement go a long way in helping umpires feel valued and confident in their role.
​
Thank you to all our umpires — your contribution is vital, and we truly appreciate everything you do for netball.​
