England Netball Volunteer Young Officials Development Officer   Sara Bostock


Sara Bostock 


The Youth Sports Trust Young Officials project is designed to place a Volunteer Young Officials Development Officer in 16 sports, netball being one.

Sara has undertaken the role of Volunteer Young Officials Development Officer due to her love of netball. She is a keen player, C award umpire and volunteer. Regularly play in local leagues for Moll Buzzers NC and in the East Midland's regional division 1 for TFC, umpires for local university BUCS matches so she already lives and breaths netball. "I believe that my previous experience of netball is vital to undertaking the YODO role. Encouraging more youths to officiating is essentials as they are the future of the sport."

She will be working for the next year developing and promoting the Youth Umpire Award throughout the country.

The Youth Umpire Award (soon to be renamed Young Umpire Award) is the ideal opportunity to introduce and encourage youths, 13-18 years to officiating. Delivered via teachers and coaches in schools and eventually CAPS registered clubs over a number of sessions accumulating to 6 hours and additional practice.

Teachers, coaches or umpires wishing to deliver the award need to attend an Orientation Workshop. For details of the next orientation workshop near you please contact your region or county netball development officer.
