Umpiring

Netball umpiring isn’t really about enforcing rules, it’s an integral part of our netball community. Umpires help keep the game safe, fair, and fun for everyone. Not to mention developing personal skills like communication, resilience, and leadership. Netball umpiring is also a great pathway into the world of professional sport.
