UMPIRING

Umpiring is a fantastic way to be part of the game, build confidence, and develop valuable life skills.
We offer a supportive and welcoming environment for umpires at all levels, with opportunities to develop through mentoring, clear pathways, and access to training via Netball Victoria.
Our umpires are essential in creating a fair, safe and enjoyable experience for all players.
We maintain a zero tolerance approach to child abuse and are committed to upholding the Child Safe Standards, ensuring all junior umpires feel safe, respected and supported. This includes promoting inclusion, valuing young people’s voices, and maintaining clear expectations around behaviour, safety and reporting.

Resources

All coaches & umpires are encouraged to download a free copy of the Rules of Netball issued by World Netball. English version accessible from the button below:

World Netball: Rules of Netball - 2024 Edition

We find that regularly referring to the official rule book helps coaches & umpires build confidence in the correct terminology, regulations, court layout, hand signals, and all other components involved in coaching & officiating a netball match.

Combining your rule knowledge with on-court experience is the best way to strengthen your skills and progress on your coaching & umpiring pathway.
You can find helpful educational videos and resources on the World Netball Website, as well as the World Netball - Rules of Netball - 2024 Edition in Spanish, Hebrew & Chinese.

    The Netball Skills Development Framework provides a nationally consistent guide for coaches, outlining the progression of skills from beginner through to elite levels. It supports age- and development-appropriate training across five stages, helping players build strong technique, decision-making, and game awareness over time. Coaches are encouraged to tailor this progression to suit the experience and development of their players.

    Knee and ankle injuries are the most common in netball, often occurring during landing, with ACL injuries making up a significant portion of serious cases. To help reduce the risk of these injuries, Netball Australia has developed the KNEE Program, designed to support safer movement and improve on-court performance. Whether you’re a coach, parent, support staff member or player, this program provides practical guidance to help keep athletes active, strong, and injury-free. For more information, please refer to the Netball Australia KNEE Program via the link below.

  • View here: National Umpire Development Framework

    The National Umpire Development Framework provides a structured pathway to support the recruitment, development, and retention of umpires at all levels of netball. It outlines the progression of skills, knowledge, and accreditation required, helping umpires build confidence, consistency, and capability through education, assessment, and practical experience.

Child safety requirements

All Coaches & Umpires aged 18 and over must hold a current Volunteer Working with Children Check (WWCC).
A Volunteer WWCC (no fee) can be obtained from Service Victoria (Australian Government Website).
You can access the application details via. the button below:

Service Victoria Website - Working With Children Check

Each season we ask that you provide a copy of your WWCC to your Club Administrator.

If you are not affiliated with a Club, please forward your WWCC directly to the Wonthaggi District Netball Association Secretary: wdnawonthaggi@outlook.com

Failure to provide a WWCC will inhibit your ability to Coach or Umpire on game day.

SEE YOU ON THE COURT.
