You will be allocated a team to umpire by Netball Kāpiti. The team will be in a grade 1-2 grades below the grade that you play in. An umpiring roster will be fascilitated by your team manager.
FUNDRAISING
As with any non-profit organization or club and to ensure we are able to keep our fees at a reasonable cost, we rely on fundraising to fund the sport we love.
2026 Fundraising events: TBC
If you have any great ideas for potential fundraisers, please let one of the committee members know.
SOCIAL MEDIA
One of our main focuses this year is to spread the word about our Club and what we're about. We encourage all Club members to like and share our social media posts as much as possible.
Throughout the season the committee members will take photographs and videos of your games and training sessions, these images and videos will be used for marketing and content purposes only. Your coach may decide to video your game, in full, for the purposes of developing your team skill set and to watch post-game.
