Hello Ace Members

Welcome to the 2017 Netball Season.

My name is Nicola Humphrey and I am the Ace Umpire Convenor this year.  If you need to contact me you can on aceumpires@gmail.com.  

Please keep an eye out on this page for all upcoming courses and anything umpiring that you will need to know.

ACE is actively involved in assisting in developing junior umpires and assisting with continuing umpire education and qualifications. Please click here for a copy of the Netball Australia Rules Book.  If you would like to know the major differences between the Modified Rules and Normal Rules please click here.

The first step in the umpiring journey is the willingness to pick up a whistle and have a go!

 We offer beginner umpiring courses throughout the year (via PRNA) so if youre interested in having a go, please contact me so that I can send you out a reminder when the course starts.

 Further information on umpire development is available by emailing  me on the above email addresses.

NEW RULES - 2016

NEW RULES 

Snapshot of key rule changes: 

  • Umpires no longer blow their whistle when goals are scored and if it is clear that the ball is out of court.
  • The use of the word ‘Penalties’ has been changed to ‘Sanctions’. Sanctions will include Free Pass or Penalty Pass. Throw Ins and Toss Ups are considered actions as opposed to Sanctions (or penalties under the current version).
  • When taking a centre pass, the Centre is required to now only have one foot wholly within the centre circle.
  • Once a player taking a penalty pass is in the correct position, the player may choose either to play the ball immediately or to wait for the infringer to stand out of play. However, it is important to note that the changes to the rule regarding the taking of the penalty pass do not remove the requirement for a player who is sanctioned for a major infringement to stand out of play.
  • All injury/illness stoppages, which include blood, will be 30 seconds, and the player must come off the court.
  • Goal tending will no longer be allowed. Players will not be able to deflect a shot once the ball is on a downward flight towards the ring, including touching the ball up through the net.
