Changes to On Line Officiating General Principles
It was decided at last year’s UMEC meeting to make the Introductory Officiating General Principles online course compulsory for all Level 1 umpire course participants so that the ASC manuals did not need to be purchased.
Netball Australia has received feedback that the Introductory Officiating General Principles online course is too complex and demanding for young participants – which make up a large percentage of participants in this course.
Netball Australia advises that the Introductory Officiating General Principles online course is no longer a requirement for the Level 1 Umpire Course. Those participants that have already completed the Level 1 course but not the online course may be awarded with the course. Future participants are not required to complete the online course nor purchase the ASC manual.
The National Umpire Strategic Committee will review whether the online course should be included in the accreditation framework when they meet later this year.
