An umpire can make almost 300 ‘bad’ decisions in a single game and still be right 99% of the time. But it is the ‘bad’ decisions that are most often noticed. Always remember to #RespectTheUmpire because their job is not easy
The Joeys Umpire Training Day is compulsory for all new and returning umpires. The details are as follows –
Location: Bellingara Netball Stadium, 99 – 105 Bellingara Road, Miranda NSW
Date: Sunday 26 February 2017
Time:
First year Joeys umpires – 8.45am (for a 9.00am start) until 11.00am
Returning umpires – 9.45am (for a 10.00am start) until 11.00am
Umpires interested in mentoring will be asked to stay until 11.15am
What to bring:
All umpires will be required to bring:
What to wear: Umpires attending the first, introductory session will be doing some practical training and will therefore require joggers (or other suitable footwear) and clothes suitable for running (what you would normally wear to netball training).
Returning umpires are only required for the theory part of the training and should therefore wear comfortable casual clothing.
With a fantastic presentation night behind us and the 2016 Winter Netball Season drawing to a close, it is a good time to think about what you are doing next year.
Umpiring, playing and Coaching are all greatly aided by having a strong understanding the Rules of Netball so if you are looking to do any of these (including those girls that are already umpires), we recommend some summer reading: http://netball.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/netball_rules_2016_english.pdf
A great way to test your knowledge is the online test which can be taken over and over again until you perfect your responses: http://netball.com.au/get-involved/umpiring/accreditation/section-1-theory-exam/
The more familiar you are with the rules the better umpire, player and coach you will be. Good luck!
It was a great day at the courts last Saturday watching our Joeys playing, trying their best and displaying true sportsmanship throughout their games:
Awesome effort from everyone! Good luck for the next game and Go Joeys!
Also special thanks goes out to our Joeys Umpires who did a great job umpiring the games on Saturday and Sunday. Well done! What an honour it must have been to have such a wonderful opportunity to experience and be part of the Finals Series.
