New Umpires

What to Expect

Below are the key notes from the information that will be sent to new umpires at the start of each year:

As new umpires you will be umpiring the non-competitive age group.
The club run an Umpire Mentoring program. At the beginning and throughout the season, experienced umpires will join you at games to provide mentoring and answer your umpiring questions.
New umpires are strongly encouraged to take part in the club's Nippers Carnival. This is an opportunity to umpire matches before the season starts. Mentors will support umpires at the carnival.
Umpires are paid for each game they umpire. Payments are made at set points throughout the season.
You will receive a copy of the Phoenix Umpiring Logbook which is designed to support your umpiring development.
Rosters are issued at the start of each week with the details of the game you will be umpiring that week
