is SUPPORTED BY PINEHURST SCHOOL & KORBOND INDUSTRIES

Every team requires an Umpire. As part of our commitment to the development of Netball for our young players we offer a variety of support to those taking up the challenge of controlling games.

 

 

Umpire Training

 

KidzplayNetball and Netball North Harbour both offer Umpire Training courses. We encourage all umpires to take the opportunity to attend one of these courses each year. There is always something new to learn.

Umpire Mentors

 

KidzplayNetball provides umpire mentors who are at the courts to support all of our umpires. These ladies are experienced umpires who will be available to offer advice and encouragement and to answer those queries that arise from time to time. They are easily identified by their white jackets

Umpire Jackets

 

We ask all umpires to wear the umpire jackets suppled to make them easily identifiable to players and supporters alike. Umpires can pick these up and return to the control tables. All team Umpires are to wear the green jackets and the KidzplayNetball Pool Umpires are to wear the white jackets.

Umpire Pool

 

We will have a pool of umpires from which we may be able to supply an umpire for your game, if required.   This can either be a long standing arrangement or a one off request. If you require an umpire each week please mark this on the registration form.

One-off requests need to be booked by the Tuesday prior to the game so that we can arrange to have someone available. If you cancel your umpire request you must let us know before the Thursday prior to the game or the $5 will still be payable to the umpire (please hand into the control table)

The Umpire fee of $5.00 per game is to be paid directly to the Umpire, preferably before the game.
