Umpiring Uniforms

Umpires are required (by Downey Park) to wear the correct umpiring uniform when umpiring all games at DPNA.  The umpiring uniform choices are either:

  • Full Samford Netball Club uniform (no shorts, appropriate footwear); or
  • Umpiring whites, can be purchased via Samford Netball Club

Please note: incorrect attire attracts a $50 fine which the umpire is responsible for.
For new uniform please contact Megan Grainger email or 0410 554 975.

Umpires Support & Mentoring (Chum or Buddy)

We are looking for volunteers to guide our newer umpires whilst they are umpiring. This is generally helping them to make decisions and being assertive. Also when umpiring new Nippers it is important to explain to the Nippers players the rules. If you decide to take on this role, this will be your commitment to get your family levy back at the end of the season. For more information please contact umpiring@samfordnetball.org.au.    Information for Umpires Support will also be provided at the Coaches and Managers evening - details.
