How do I become an Umpire?

Umpiring Netball can be very rewarding (and not just because you get paid). Without umpires, it would be difficult to play the game. Umpires are a unique group of people who are trained to ensure an equitable and fair contest for all players. Umpires can train towards theoretical and practical accreditations provided by Netball Australia.

Corrimal Netball Club acknowledges the valuable contribution of its umpires. Training, mentoring and supervision is provided by the club for all umpires, Junior through to Seniors.

If you are interested in umpiring please contact CNC and Rhiannon Evans via email at [email protected]
