Umpire Nomination Form

The Australian Mens’ and Mixed Netball Association Inc (AMMNA) calls for nominations from nationally badged Umpires to become a member of the National Pool of Umpires. National B, A or higher qualification is required though consideration for C badge applications will be assessed on individual merit.

Umpires receive an excellent opportunity to umpire at the elite level and also receive high performance coaching.

Umpires may be allocated a maximum of 2 games and one reserve per day during round games only.

Allocations for all finals are based on performance as judged by the AMMNA Umpire Coaching and Allocations Panel.

All allocations are based on performance during the week and there is no guarantee of either the maximum number of allocations during round games nor an allocation for the finals series.

We have a great sport that we all love, either as a Player, Coach, Manager, Technical Official or Administrator.

We want to be seen as an elite sport, and it is important we act in manner acceptable to family and friends, work colleagues or to the general public. We must be seen as an example of an elite sport to encourage parents to support their children to play the game and strive for ongoing improvement through the development pathways.

We must encourage involvement and embrace diversity. It makes the sport richer and stronger and increases the level of participation and improves the overall standard.

I agree to the following:

1. Professionalism – to act professionally during the course of my involvement with the Australian Men’s and Mixed Netball Association Inc (the Association) and ensure my actions do not compromise the reputation of the Association or bring its standing into disrepute.

2. Harassment – to refrain from any behaviour that is offensive, insulting, humiliating, bullying, intimidating or that creates a hostile environment amongst fellow officials, players and any others involved in netball.

3. Sexual harassment - to refrain from sexual advances, making comments that a reasonable person would find offensive, humiliating or intimidating.

4. Social media and electronic communication – to refrain from making comments or publishing explicit photographs, or photographs of a person without their permission on social media and/or via electronic communication transmissions that are illegal, offensive, insulting, humiliating, bullying, intimidating or that create a hostile environment amongst fellow officials, players and any others involved in netball.

5. Anti-drug and alcohol policy – all players and officials must be aware of and follow the guidelines of the Australian Sports Drug Agency.

6. I have not been convicted of any criminal offence in relation to a child or young person, nor have I been convicted of a serious criminal offence and do not have a current Apprehended Violence Order or similar restraining order against me.

To assist with planning for the 2022 tournmanent, we are looking for an indication as to which part of the AMMNA package you are looking to take up. As laid out in the pathway document, umpires are encouraged to partake in the whole package, but understand some members of the pool may wish to make their own arrangements.
