Umpiring at Campbelltown
Campbelltown Netball Association operates an "umpire your own" system of umpiring. That is, each team is responsible for providing one competent umpire for the game.
Before anyone can umpire they must pass the online umpires exam and attend a level 1 umpiring accreditation. Umpires must also obtain a "clearance" to umpire the particular level of game.
See your club umpires convenor or contact Umpires Control. The Association's Umpires Co-ordinator is Michael Seery (mobile 0418 768 708).The Senior Umpires Convenor is Boronia Clarke and the Junior Convenor is Cindy Mann.
Semi finals, finals and grand finals
Convenors are to provide their completed Umpires for Semi-finals form by Saturday 29 July.
Registration
All umpires must be registered with the CDNA (either as a player, or a non‑player with NSW insurance). Umpires must sign the score sheet at the end of each game and provide their Association registration numbers.
Umpires who fail to fail to sign will incur a fine of $5.
Umpires who are not registered will incur a penalty of 4 competition points for the team for which they umpired.
Clearances
All umpires must have a clearance for the level of game that they are umpiring. A fine of $10 applies for umpiring without the proper clearance. To obtain a clearance, umpires must have a current theory pass, have attended a level 1 accreditation, and demonstrate that they are capable of umpiring that standard of game.
An umpire's clearance may be revoked by the Association Umpiring Convenors if the umpire does not continue to meet the required standard.
Code of behaviour
All umpires officiating in an affiliated competition are bound by the Umpire Code of Behaviour.
Mentoring program
Netball Australia in conjunction with the Australian Sports Commission has launched an online mentoring course for coaches, umpires and officials.
Mentoring is a highly effective way for coaches, umpires and officials to learn the ‘art' of their role, and apply theory that they may have learnt in a classroom or through independent study. Mentoring relationships can be formally structured, with mentors assigned to officials, or they can grow out of a chance encounter with a like-minded person and remain very informal.
The course has seven modules covering the following topics:
- How mentoring works
- Know yourself as a mentor
- Initial meeting
- Know your mentee
- Giving Feedback
- Improving Performance
- Conflict/Challenging Situations
Mentoring is not new, but it is effective. Skilling mentors in their role can only enhance the mentee's experience. Being able to provide quality feedback in a manner that empowers the mentee and allows them to develop in their own time and style is a skill that mentors need to have.
