Courses and Awards

• Youth Award Orientation Workshop for teachers (this leads into the teacher being able to deliver the Youth Umpire Award to their pupils via the school curriculum)

Please note the following:

• Beginner Umpire Courses: England Netball affiliated and non affiliated personnel may attend these courses. However non affiliated personnel will not be covered by insurance.

• C' Award Courses: If the C award course is the first course delivered within a County then again non affiliated personnel will not be covered by insurance

• B' Award Courses: Only England Netball affiliated members may access this course and should hold a current C Award umpiring qualification

The following course has been developed to try and ensure that all matches from grassroots through to the top level eventually all have Timekeepers and Scorers - so that the Umpires do not have to keep a scorecard.

• Table Officials course
