Umpiring is a great way to stay in the game of netball and give back to your community. It is also a great way to become a better player - those who know the rules will be able to play the game a lot better.
The Netball New Zealand umpire pathway starts off with Introduction to Umpiring and goes all the way through to New Zealand qualified umpires.
We welcome all umpires to the Centre - with or without experience, and invite you to contact our Development Coordinator to talk through your options to become an umpire.
If you are already a current umpire, you will also be able to move your current qualifications over to our Centre.
Contact us if you are interested in becoming an umpire.
