Umpires Acknowledged

Umpiring can be a tough gig, but Arana Netball Club members Georgia and Lana have taken it in their stride and have recently acquired their Downey Park Netball Association Junior Umpiring badge.

The Arana Netball Club is incredibly proud of the duo and club representatives tell us how wonderful it has been to witness their progress as they achieve their goals.

‘Georgia has umpired for Arana Netball for over three years, she is calm and professional in her approach and holds good control of the game. It is wonderful to see her recognised for her dedication and to witness her progress as she takes on higher division level umpiring,’ explains the club spokesperson.

‘Lana brings many years of netball experience with her, Lana's knowledge of the game certainly shines through in her confidence umpiring. Lana was assessed by C Badge umpires from Stuartholme and Raiders who were encouraging and quickly saw Lana's potential in umpiring higher level divisions.’

The club would like to extend a special thank you to Jason and Bri and all of their mentors that help develop the umpires. The club often receive positive comments from other umpires, coaches and spectators about the performance of their umpires.
