Information for Vipers Umpires

If you are already a Vipers Umpire or you are interested in umpiring for Vipers in our upcoming season please read the below information. 

Umpiring Requirements

You do not need a formal accreditation to start umpiring, however you do need a Blue Card if you are over 18 years of age. We will provide you with training opportunities through the DPNA Beginners Umpire Course to get you started. If you are already an experienced umpire looking to expand or upgrade your credentials, please contact our Umpiring Development Manager to express your interest in achieving your umpiring goals so mentoring and testing can be arranged.

Uniform Requirements

To umpire for Vipers you will be required to wear the official Vipers Umpiring Shirt over your netball dress. You will also be required to bring a whistle, rule book, water bottle and hair tie (to track centre passes).  


Umpiring for Other Clubs

At Vipers we strive to provide our umpires with the best opportunities to help grow umpire confidence and grow our umpiring standards. To help us do this we will coordinate with other clubs to prove our umpires with the best opportunities possible. 


However, if you wish to umpire for another club or if another club is interested in using our umpires to help cover games please send all enquires to our Umpiring Development Manager at umpiring@vipersnetball.com.au


There may be instances that we involve umpires from other clubs to umpire our games and conversely other clubs may contact us for umpires.  If you umpire for another club it is important that you are representing not only Vipers but also the other club.  A professional presentation and attitude is expected. In most instances you will be paid in cash on the day by the other club involved.  The Umpiring Development Manager will facilitate this.
