Umpiring Rules sessions
Perfect for all our affiliated school, club & satellite umpires, player-umpires, coaches, managers & parents!
Our 2026 NWC winter netball season starts Saturday 25 April.
All teams playing Premier, Prem Reserve, Senior (1-3) will be called upon for player-umpire duty.
Collegiate & Junior Collegiate grades are instead required to provide their own umpire for their game.
So don’t just bury your head in the sand and hope you don’t get rostered on… get ready!
These online sessions help build confidence, refresh your umpire knowledge prior to the start of the season and gain answers to any fiddly questions or scenarios experienced in the past.
Please note: dates below subject to change to accommodate facilitator availability.
