VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!
As we move into the later rounds of the season, we are looking for volunteers that might wish to learn to umpire over the last of the round games and throughout the summer social competitions. Whilst it can appear daunting, umpiring is actually a great way to better learn the rules and understand the game better. If you’re interested in umpiring, the club will partner you up with one of our experienced HACT level umpires to help guide you through the elements of umpiring such as the rules, positioning etc and ease you into the role. Summer Social is also a great opportunity to learn to umpire as players are generally more relaxed and happy to help out emerging umpires. If you are interested at all, please email the club email account and we will get you in touch with the Umpire Coordinator, Harriet Williams and one of our experienced umpires and get you started.
It's true that umpiring can seem daunting, but the point about it being a great way to better learn the rules and understand the game really resonates. Having an experienced HACT level umpire guide you through the process sounds like excellent support. Mastering the nuances of the game through umpiring could truly feel like an infinite craft, constantly revealing new layers of strategy and fair play. This is a brilliant initiative! 👍
