It is our responsibility to provide an umpire for everyone netball game EBJFNC competes in.
We are seeking expressions of interest from adults interested in joining our club as a Netball Umpire to assist with umpiring duties throughout the season. Please note, there won’t be a requirement for you to umpire every weekend, we are hoping to develop a group of umpires to assist as required. Please contact Louise Klopak if you are interested or for more details. PH: 0439 566 343
Badged or non-badged umpires are most welcome and may be paid depending on their experience.
The BFNL will be organizing Umpire Accreditation courses through Netball Victoria which is designed to teach potential EBJFNC volunteer umpires the rules and regulations of the game to help foster the development of players at our club.

Due to the GPJFNC going into recession we now have 2 BYES this season.
