Eastwood Ryde Umpiring Convenor Manual “to be used in conjunction with the Netball Australia NUDF” EASTWOOD RYDE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD ISN’T THE E/R ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD AN UMPIRING BADGE? No, the E/R Encouragement Award is not a Badge. The entry level Badge for Umpires, recognised across Australia, is the National C Badge. There is no such thing as a District Badge. This award is designed to be an intermediary encouragement of persistence, hard work and effort to help umpires continue towards the National C Badge (because it can sometimes be a big step and long time between starting to umpire and attaining a National Badge). This Encouragement Award is designed to give developing umpires the opportunity to receive mentoring from experienced Nationally Badged umpires over at least two weeks, if not more. WHO IS ASSESSED FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD? Clubs nominate beginning umpires wishing to be assessed. Do not include UDP Umpires. The UDP mentors will refer these umpires. They should ALSO nominate assessors who can assess these are other umpires for Encouragement Awards. Umpires being looked at for the Encouragement Award should be consistently umpiring and on at least 13 year grade games. WHO MENTORS & ASSESSES THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD Clubs should also provide the names of Nationally Badged Umpire Mentors who will mentor and assess. These Mentors should attend the “Mentoring and Testing Umpires Lecture” in week 3 of competition. The Umpiring Committee are willing to help train the Club umpire mentors. The Umpiring Committee are always wandering the courts. If we find someone who is consistently umpiring well, they will be consulted and presented with the E/R Encouragement Award, if they so wish. HOW DOES AN UMPIRE RECEIVE THE ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD? If any umpire is shown to be consistently umpiring at a certain level, they will be awarded the Eastwood Ryde Encouragement Award on the spot. This is only a stepping stone on the way to the more important National C Badge. The Umpire will be given the Award after their game, along with a brochure of congratulations and a list of the Key Performance Indicators for the National C Badge. The Eastwood Ryde Encouragement Award is not a pre-requisite for the National C Badge, but someone umpiring at National C level will already be umpiring at the E/R Encouragement Award level.
