Rules of Netball
Equal opportunity, fair play and respect for an opponent’s skill and safety.
Umpiring
Umpires are an integral part of the Australian netball community. They help keep the game safe, fair and fun for everyone, all while developing personal skills like communication, resilience and leadership. Netball umpiring is also a great pathway into an elite sporting environment. If you’d like to get involved, just chat to your State or Territory Member Organisation. There are plenty of opportunities, plus clear development pathways for those wanting to officiate at the highest level.
