Creating Positive Umpire Culture
This session will explore how we can create positive environments for umpires across community sport, and what support can be provided to allow developing umpires the best opportunity to learn and develop their skills in a safe atmosphere. We welcome a panel of presenters from various sporting codes – including AFL, Basketball Victoria and Football Victoria – to discuss the initiatives they have implemented within their codes, their effectiveness, and the impact they may have with respect to Child Safety.
Testers Meeting
During this informative meeting we will discuss all things relevant to testing and accreditations. Learn how to become an endorsed tester – our endorsed testers are a valuable part of our netball community, facilitating our umpires through the start of the accreditation pathway and ensuring the umpiring across the state is of a high standard. We will discuss how to compose a testing panel and correctly complete the practical assessment sheet, what is required of the testing candidate, and dive into the competencies of the C Badge and B Badge.
