MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOLIDAY BREAK TO BECOME A MORE CONFIDENT UMPIRE!

Netball Wellington Centre offer umpire holiday programmes at the following times throughout the year:

April:  First week of the holidays.  Full day from 9.30am to 3pm.  Focus on theory including rule understanding and discussion as well as practical activities including whistle-blowing, scenarios and best-practice positioning on court.
