Umpiring is not as easy as it looks !
Netball umpire responsibilities include conducting inspections and making rule decisions (using clear communication skills).
Umpires are also responsible for ensuring the general health and safety of all the players with extra accountability to spectators who may be watching the game. Netball umpires focus on enforcing the regulations and controlling fair play in line with England Netball rules.
There is a lot to think about when you have 14 players on court.
Into Officiating Course
The Into Officiating Course is the first step on the officiating pathway. It will help you to understand the basic rules of the game, as well as cover some of the basic positioning and movement required to enable you to ‘whistle well’ whilst being an umpire.
C Award Officiating Course
This course is the next step on the umpire pathway for those holders of the Into Officiating Award. It’s perfect for those of you aspiring to umpire at a higher level within your County. The course builds on the knowledge you learnt on your Into Officiating course and introduces the basics of Contact/Contest and Advantage.
