Umpiring is an integral part of our game. Umpires provide the opportunity for everyone to play the game in a safe, fair and enjoyable environment. Everyone has a role to play in ensuring that we create a culture at Lismore Netball where our umpires are a respected part of our netball community
The LDNA Umpire’s Convenor is responsible for allocating umpires to representative opportunities (carnivals, Senior & junior State Title competitions) as well as for the supervision of umpires for National Badging. The LDNA Umpiring Convenor is a human resource available to the clubs to assist them in their endeavours to develop their umpires.
Clubs are responsible for providing umpires who are of suitable standard for the teams that they enter into the winter competition. The LDNA Umpires Convenor can support the clubs in the development of umpires and provide information to umpires on the pathways that are available to them.
A neatly presented umpire looks professional and in control of the game. Umpires at LDNA must wear club uniform (tracksuit or playing dress) or whites (shorts, tracksuit pants or skirt and white polo) when umpiring games. Leggings and hoodies are not allowed. Suitable footwear must be worn.
Must be a registered member of Netball NSW.
