There are many reasons to be involved with umpiring, whether it be for fitness, to help your own game by knowing the rules, being a Mum and helping control the sidelines of your daughter’s young team, supporting your club by becoming the team umpire or confidentially blowing the whistle at any level of the game.
Umpiring netball is very rewarding and is fast growing as an individual sport in its own right. It requires fitness, good analytical skills and of course a passion for the sport of Netball.
It is part of Kerikeri Netball Centre’s mission to provide a quality competition for all. Nominated team umpires should be both confident and competent to umpire the game allocated. This includes being at the required fitness level to be able to have good position, vision and timing. We all expect and deserve to have a well controlled game and our umpires to have good knowledge of the game.
