Umpiring Pathways
Netball has changed markedly over the last five years and with
the increased speed, athleticism and skill levels of the players,
has come an increased level of physical contest that presents
challenges for umpires.
An umpire's role is to facilitate a flowing, enjoyable game
for all participants, including players, coaches, administrators,
spectators and other officials. The approach that umpires take
into each game plays a large part in the success of the game for
all. To continue the progress of Netball umpires must, along with
all facets of the game, develop and push boundaries.
The umpire development pathway below shows a progressive
ladder of achievement. The model is designed to display the
subsequent, correct steps to take in your development as an
