UMPIRE FOR PINE PANTHERS

Why Umpire?

Umpiring is a fantastic way to be part of the Pine Panthers community while learning netball from a whole new perspective. Umpires play a vital role on court — they help keep games safe, fair, and enjoyable for everyone involved. Simply put, netball can’t happen without them.

Becoming an umpire gives you a strong knowledge of the rules and how the game flows, but it also builds skills that go far beyond the court, including:

  • Clear communication

  • Confidence and leadership

  • Resilience and decision-making

Umpiring is also a great way to meet new people, give back to the club, and be a proud part of the Pine Panthers team on game day.
