The SSA Netball Umpires program provides a localised training environment for eligible, aspiring young netball umpires to access quality development opportunities and support.
Umpires will receive expert coaching and participate in both practical and educational development sessions throughout the program under the guidance of the SSA umpire coaching staff. This program is recognised as part of the program pathway for umpires under the Netball NSW pathway and the established SSA umpires pathway.
Umpires who are successful in gaining access to the program will undertake a similar schedule of training to the athlete pathway and will work closely with the athlete pathways program to form a highly integrated umpiring program.
The SSA program operates under Netball Australia and Netball NSW guidelines to up-skill umpires and prepare them for competitions and their next badge upgrade.
To be eligible to apply for the program, athletes must be:
