Each team must pay their umpire $10 on the day of netball. 

Teams to provide umpires

Every team must provide a registered MK umpire for each game (which means they need to have done a MK umpire course in the last three years, or something of similar nature).  Any team that fails to provide a registered umpire for any game will be considered to have defaulted, although the game may continue as a "friendly" game using only the opposing team's umpire or an unregistered umpire.  (Note: if neither team provides a registered umpire, zero points will be awarded).  The situation must be reported to the Container by the defaulting team before the beginning of the game.  The team that fails to provide an umpire will also be fined $40.

All umpires must have attended and passed an umpiring course within the last three years and have the minimum qualifications of "Introduction to Umpiring".

Umpires are required to check the OTHER team and not their own for jewellery, fingernails etc as they are trained to do so in the courses.  Score cards must be checked by both umpires during the breaks, any inconsistencies are dealt with immediately.

At the end of the game, each umpire must sign the score card and clearly print their name.

Duty Umpires

There is a Duty Umpire available during play that can be approached by any member of the public to assist with umpiring queries.  If there are any umpiring concerns please contact the Duty Umpire immediately.  They can be identified by their hi-visibility orange jacket or inquire at the Container.  Note that the Duty Umpire is not available to umpire games where an umpire has not been provided, they are there to keep the game running smoothly and to be there to assist umpire at the time of play.

Neutral UmpiresCoaches of any teams in the Y7/8A and 7/8B Grades are not permitted to umpire their team's games and must provide a separate umpire.
