.Lakers Netball Club - Umpiring Blog

We are getting closer to our season start and now we have to start our preparation for umpires!

Everyone needs:

• a good FINGER whistle. If you do not own one already, please obtain one or contact me and I can purchase from Netball Qld for you.
• Hat or Cap
• Sunscreen
• Water bottle
• Know your rules (after our umpires clinic you will understand how to interpret these rules and what to look for)

Wests Requirements of Umpires:

• 15 minutes early to sign on. Sign on for the correct team that you have been allocated for (so we dont get fined!!!)
• Club Uniform or whites if you are in training.
• Choose the end you wish to umpire (hint: select between facing the sun or not or being away from spectators)
• Check nails and jewellery are correct before the game.
• Introduce yourself to your other umpire.

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT AN UMPIRES CLINIC THAT WE ARE ORGANISING FOR THE CLUB VERY SOON.
