A note from our Head of Officiating, Gary Burgess
“As an insight led organisation, we listened to feedback from our learners who wanted a more accessible and convenient approach to our learning offers. With the accelerated development of online video platforms during the pandemic and the mass use of these putting the two parts together has meant we are able to transform the way officials are trained. Our wonderful County and Regional Officiating leads will still be the first point of call for the signposting of learners and I thank them for their support in making this transition a success.”
What is the Into Officiating course?
The aims and objectives of the Into Officiating Course are:
- To inspire you to become a qualified umpire
- To improve your knowledge and understanding of netball
- To teach you some of the techniques of good umpiring
- To provide an understanding of how the main rules are applied
- To build your whistle confidence
- To give you some practical ideas to take away and use when you are umpiring
How will it work?
As well as the extensive online resources, learners will take part in two x two-hour interactive virtual modules.
You’ll be encouraged to gain practice out in the field at training sessions and matches, before taking part in a minimum 15-minute practical assessment to complete the course.
Your County Officiating Lead will still be the best first point of contact locally to determine if this course is right for you and provide any advice or guidance.
Check back on Thursday
What you will need
We anticipate these courses will be popular and could very well sell out fast, so please make sure you are ready and fully equipped to book.
Tip: You will need your ENA ID and password to hand, as well as your credit or debit card details.
If you need help finding your ENgage credentials, please contact our online helpdesk.
