Umpire Information
Note - The Umpire Development events are open to all umpires, coaches, players or anyone interested in the rules of netball.
The only compulsory meeting in 2021 is the AGM in August - all other Umpire Development events are not compulsory however we encourage as many umpires as possible to attend so that we are all on the same page regarding rules and interpretations.
The Umpires Written Rules Test for Grading is intended for those umpires wishing to attempt a grading. Others may attend however an online rules test is available. Email: saucnaumpires@gmail.com for access codes.
Match Protocols for Umpires
A series of match protocols have been developed based on the Netball Australia document produced in 2016. These are now available for viewing and download and are to be implemented in SAUCNA from Summer 2016/17.

From 2019 the umpire registration process will change. Clubs will be sent a list of umpires, at the Association AGM in February, who were registered in the previous year for confirmation or deletion for the following calendar year. Any new umpires for the upcoming year must complete an individual form (from below) and have it signed by the authorised signatory of the club.
