Umpiring
All umpires in the Loughborough Town Netball League must hold a current C award (or above) umpiring qualification. Each umpire will be allocated an LTNL umpiring number.
Any team failing to fulfil their umpiring duties or using an unqualified umpire (without prior agreement and those matches designated as unqualified slots) will lose all points for their game (minimum 4 points deducted) and will incur a £30 umpiring fee, to be paid to the 'stand in' umpire.
The LTNL run an Umpiring What’s App group where LTNL umpiring updates and umpiring requests are made, all umpires are encouraged to join. Please contact the Umpiring Secretary if you wish to be added to this group.
Getting Qualified
Umpiring courses are run by East Midlands Netball and are publicised on their website - please visit this site for more information: East Midlands Netball Umpiring Courses and to register on a course visit: England Netball Course Finder
