The umpire controls the games, and the players. They have to keep focused on the game at all times to make sure that it is fair. If a mistake is made the umpire is allowed to awared the opposing team a FREE PASS or a PENALTY PASS.They are also responsible for the players safety so must check the court before they begin play. Good umpires generally develop a level of empathy for the players.

well in the official English and Australia rules state that there must be 2 scoreres for a game opne fom each opposing team. tey record the score each time you or the other team gets a goal. but at the end of the game you must go up to the scorers and ask what the score was either that or they come up and tell you.

∙ 14y agoIn a match, netball umpires control the half of the court to their right and the entire sideline which they are placed on. They follow the ball as it travels down the court and pull up any broken rules or mistakes the players make by blowing their whistle and awarding a penalty or free pass. When the ball is shot through the hoop the umpire blows their whistle to signify a goal and at the start of every centre if the last goal was scored in their half they blow the whistle to start play. At the start of the game or at the start of a new quarter the umpire who is controlling play in the half where the ball is headed blows the whistle. If two players catch the ball at the same time the umpire decides possession by doing a toss up and if a player is injured during play they signal to the umpire who calls time and halts the game for up to two minutes. Before the start of the game it is necessary for the umpires to check the length of the player's nails and make sure none of them are wearing jewellrey.

∙ 12y agoWell first they pick up the things the players do wrong . Also they help you understand the rules of the game. Most umpires are good but some can be really stuck up and just yell at you like your a piece of rubbish.

It depends on what position you are if you are a GS(goal shooter) then you are the person that has to shoot the goals.The ball will come down and you have to get away from the GK (goal keeper) and get the ball. The D on the netball corut is where u shoot, u have to be in the D to shoot!. your not aloud into the other thirds of the courts GA(goal attack) You shoot to but you do more running and you have to get away from GD(goal defence). Your aim is to get the ball down to the GS so GS or you have the chance to shoot! you cant go into the other third where the ither teams are shooting. WA(wing attack) You are the wing support. you have to help the ball go down to your GA and GS so they can shoot you cant go down the other third and you cant go in the D.You are to be on the wing to help. C(centre) is the one that does the most running!you need to get the ball and bring it up! u stand on the centre and start off with the ball and pass it to yuour team to get it to the goal. your aloud everywhere just not in the D's. GK9goal keeper) You have to stop the ball getting to your player your marking so they cant shoot. you are the defender and you just have to stick on your partner so they dont shoot! you have to be 3 feet away to put your hands up! GD(gaol defence) You do the same as GK but do more running you have to defend GA and hope she doesnt get the ball.and when its there C you have to defend and get the ball at all times. WD(wing defence) your like WA you just have to defend and help GK bring the ball up!
