Umpiring is an integral part of our game and is essential to the progress and success of the sport. Umpires are ideally positioned to apply the rules to the best of their ability, without fear or favour, and to make decisions in the interests of the game. Skilled umpiring enhances the standard of the game by complementing and encouraging skilled play, for the enjoyment of participants and spectators alike.

36 + umpires are needed every week at both our home courts and city courts .
We welcome anyone over the age of 13 to become one of our umpires. We provide support, training and mentoring.

Working with Children Check
A Working with Children Check issued by the Department of Human Services (DHS) Screening Unit is the only accepted form of background screening for working with children. Police checks, DCSI clearances, teacher’s registration, vulnerable person screening, or other screening types will not be accepted.

It is a requirement of Grange Netball that the following minimum requirements are met to support the provision of child safe environments:

•  All persons 14 years old or over to whom the NA Child Safeguarding Policy (particularly the South Australian Addendum) applies must present a valid WWCC prior to engagement, regardless of whether they directly work with children.
• Note, Under the Child Safety (Prohibited Persons) Act 2016. A member of the South Australia Police or the Australian Federal Police are “excluded persons” and therefore do not require a WWCC.
• All WWCCs presented must be verified for accuracy using the DHS portal.
