New Umpire Development Program at Doncaster District Netball Association
Each year, our experienced Head Trainer Terry Pieper and Umpire Coordinator Charli Liddicoat, provide a training and development program designed to give new umpires the confidence, knowledge and skills to become accomplished umpires. This is achieved through both on-court development/mentoring, as well as umpiring courses organised by the Association.
If you would like to become an umpire, please fill out the following form https://goo.gl/forms/DqMLnzgPcwV4uTeq2
The form asks for you to complete the theory of netball exam and submit your score for that as well.

The outline below is simply an outline, each trainee moves at their own pace, and your trainers will be there to help develop and support you. These skills will be worked on throughout your training period. At all times during the training period you will be accompanied by a trainer, an experienced umpire who is there to help answer questions you have and help you with your decision making. They will be there to help you to continue to develop your skills as an umpire. Please click on the headings below to find out more.
As you develop you will be allowed to run without a mentor to build your confidence and progressively umpire higher and faster standard games.
You will also work with Senior Umpires and mentors as you gain experience and work towards your C Badge at your individual pace.
Remember, there is always someone there to support you and help you grow as a DDNA Umpire.
Welcome to Team White.
