Association Mentoring

Netball Victoria committed to the continued development of all our umpires and invite affiliated associations and leagues to nominate for Association Mentoring.

Netball Victoria will provide experienced Umpire Mentors to work with nominated umpires at your association/league to further their development in a game day setting.  This also provides opportunities for Umpire Coordinators to assess their umpire development and training program to enable best practices and achieve greater development of grassroot umpires. 

The Umpire Mentors will provide coaching and feedback to umpires, address Key Performance Indicators and develop action plans for further development. There is also the opportunity to talent identify umpires across the state to offer further training and opportunities for development.

Cost: $500 (including minimum 2 Mentors for day of competition).  Opportunities are limited, so book in quick!
