UMPIRING

Without umpires the netball simply doesn't happen. We are committed to the continual development of umpires at Poly. All players are encouraged to pick up a whistle at training and mentoring is always at hand for those wanting to learn. We are proud of our umpires who represent, not just at North London and Middlesex, but across social leagues in London and even as far afield as the USA.

UMPIRE DEVELOPMENT
Trainee umpires may umpire at North London in Divisions 5 & 4 once they have been assessed by a committee member in order for them to gain real match practice. Once they are confident, an application is made to the Middlesex Umpiring Secretary to take a C test, which includes umpiring at County or North London division 1 level and a 20 multiple choice test. C umpires can umpire in North London and the Middlesex Leagues. The next step is B award. The test includes a umpiring assessment at County Premier level or equivalent, and several verbal questions in front of a panel. For those wishing to go the extra mile, the A award is the top level of the domestic umpiring tree. All details can be found on the Middlesex County Netball League website.
