Umpiring is a critical part of netball and offers exciting development pathways. Mittagong Netball Club is committed to training new umpires each year.
For every game played by our teams, Mittagong Netball Club must provide an umpire, therefore providing plenty of opportunities for our umpires to learn and grow.
Getting Started in Umpiring
