Umpiring FAQs
How does the Junior system work?
Junior umpiring is allocated to players from 12s to Cadets. Each player will be allocated 2-3 games in a season. These games are appropriately levelled to the ability of the umpire. The duties are a team responsibility to fill.
How does the Senior system work?
Senior registered players contribute $70 in their fees towards the allocation of umpires for the season. Players can receive their money back by umpiring 2 games throughout the season ($35 for each). Players will receive payment for any extra umpiring undertaken in the season. These games are allocated to the player and are an individual responsibility.
