Tips for Umpires
Education
• Keep up to date with rules and rule interpretations. Have you read / understood the Rule Book?
• Don’t be afraid to ask your Umpire Mentor questions – knowledge is power.
• Maintain accreditation / attend umpiring courses.
• Watch NNL umpires on TV for attitude, positioning etc.
Appearance
• Be as fit as the players – warm up!
• Wear appropriate uniform – WHITE – as this gives a sense of authority and pride.
• Do not be lazy – keep up with the game always.
• Do not be late for the start of your match.
• Do not talk on your mobile phone or to other people during a match.
Umpiring skills
• Blow your whistle LOUDLY and assertively.
• Ensure that you are always in a position to SEE.
• CONCENTRATE for the entire quarter.
• Do not alter your initial umpiring decision – even if you realise it was wrong.
• Do not “make up” for an incorrect decision.
• You will make mistakes – so do AA umpires. Accept it and move on.
Attitude
• Be CONFIDENT – even if you aren’t
• But do not be ARROGANT – this is not a POWER TRIP.
• Umpire because you enjoy the challenge not for money.
• Be prepared to have players, coaches and spectators disagree with some of your decisions. There is no umpire who pleases every player, coach & supporter for the entire game at any level or in any sport.
• Be prepared to accept that you will be wrong some of the time. You will have good games and bad games just like players and coaches.
• Always SMILE – you are not the enemy; you are working WITH the players to create a fair and competitive game. Do not make it a negative experience for yourself. Focus on the positives.
• Put it all into PERSPECTIVE – this is sport / fun.
