As you all know, we have a wonderful group of Umpires who give their time to officiate at South West events during the season.
Many who are players have commented on how learning the rules of the game has contributed to their game & knowledge of rights & wrongs on the court.
We would like to encourage other people to get involved as the more there are, the less nights they have to umpire. (Last year our volunteer umpires were very stretched with many of them umpiring 2 and 3 nights in a row.) Some people may think umpiring is not for them and they may prefer to be a linesperson.
We will be running a SWLBL Umpire & Linesperson’s Course on Wednesday 14th September in Portarlington Parochial from 7.30 – 9.30. Please spread the word, we would love to welcome new people on board.
There is no pressure after the night to continue if you feel it’s not for you, just come along and get a feel for it!
