All on court umpires are required to complete a series of tasks over a four year period after they’ve successfully attained their Netball Australia C, B, A or AA badge.
We recommend that all umpires continue to upgrade their knowledge, skills and competencies after they’ve attached their badge. Staying up-to-date maintains the overall quality of umpires in netball and makes sure they are provided with ongoing education and development opportunities.
Our ongoing education and development opportunities cover areas such as:
-The latest information on developments in netball
-Rules knowledge and current interpretations
-Access to the most up-to-date techniques and skills relating to umpiring
The recertification process begins one day after the completion of your current accreditation.
Once a C, B or A badge accreditation has expired, application should be made to the relevant Member Organisation for consideration.
Once an accreditation has expired for a period of 4 years, with no current learning, that accreditation is no longer recognised and the umpire will need to be re-tested to regain their accreditation.
Once an AA badge accreditation has expired for a period greater than 12 months, application should be made to Netball Australia for consideration.
Umpire Presenters and Testers that are no longer umpiring must hold a current (within the last 4 years) Rules of Netball Theory Exam pass mark relevant to their badge level to be eligible to present and/or test as part of the National Umpire Accreditation System.
