Eastwood Ryde Umpiring Convenor Manual “to be used in conjunction with the Netball Australia NUDF” REPRESENTATIVE CARNIVALS The ERNA Representative Teams and Development Squads attend Sunday carnivals from March to June. One umpire per team must accompany teams to the carnivals. We require National Badged Umpires for the senior teams and higher age groups (17, 15, 14 & 13 yr), a minimum of an umpire targeted for National C Badging for lower age groups (12 & 11 yr).Umpires may nominate to attach to a Representative team for the entire season but may be asked to umpire the other teams to ensure their own development and the development of the players. The Umpire commits to attending all that team’s carnivals for the season (up to 4) and then has priority selection to umpire at State and/or State Age Championships, depending on their level of ability. STATE & STATE AGE CHAMPIONSHIPS For each team that is sent to the Championships ERNA must also send a National Badged Umpire. National B and above is usually required for State & State Age Championships. Suitable National C Badge umpires may also umpire State Age Championships. These are three-day weekends over the June long weekend and the first week of the School Holidays in July, respectively. Sometimes other districts make requests for help with their umpiring at these championships. If we have umpires available, ERNA will usually oblige. Accommodation out of the metro area is provided. Umpires who wish to be nominated in April (State Champs) and May (State Age Champs) for these Championships should contact the Umpiring Committee. PAYMENTS OF EXPENSES TO UMPIRES ON REPRESENTATIVE GAMES Representative Umpires are not considered employees of ERNA. Payments may not be made immediately. Please ask your umpires to contact ERNA if payments do not arrive.

Umpires should ideally get fit to umpire. Umpiring requires not only stamina but speed, the ability to change direction, flexibility and strength. A fitness programme should be started in mid-summer and incorporate all these aspects as well as Umpire Specific training e.g. reading the rules, practicing 3-feet recognition and 3-second perception, sprinting to the goal line, dodging, side stepping etc. These fitness programmes are just suggestions for a personal programme but doing fitness in a group is always so much more fun. Why not join a Boot Camp or Fitness programme with a trainer? Likewise, it is vital that umpires warm up and limber up before each game they umpire. A simple warm up routine will enable a better game because the umpire is immediately in the mindset of the game and able to keep up with players, who, themselves, have generally warmed up. EXAMPLE WARM-UP & FITNESS CIRCUIT To be used after jogging and stretching. 2 x 30 metres HIGH KNEES Moderate rhythm Arms in Sprint position 2 x 30 metres BUTT KICKS Moderate rhythm Arms in Sprint position 2 x 30 metres SKIPPING Moderate rhythm Arms in Sprint position & Pawing lead foot 2 x 30 metres QUICK FEET Fast rhythm 2 x 30 metres QUICK ARMS 10 seconds feet stationary then Sprint 30 metres 2 x 30 metres QUICK FEET Hands on waist 10 seconds then Sprint 30 metres 4 x 60 metres ACCELERATION Complete once.
