Umpiring
All umpires must be qualified to a level appropriate for the type of netball being played.
The Umpiring Secretary is responsible for ensuring that relevant umpiring courses and information are available to all members of the GCNA. Courses are organised throughout the season where it is felt necessary. Anyone wishing to be considered for a qualification must contact the Umpiring Secretary to arrange for a test. The test will consist of a practical and a written test.
