Applications open for Officials to Reaccredit in October 2022
Applications are invited for REACCREDITING OFFICIALS to attend an assessment session.
Applicants will be required to answer 5 (Marker), 5 (Measurer) or 15 (National Umpire) questions as well as undergo a number of on-green practical marking and/or measuring assessments. The total time to complete the course is expected to be 3 to 4 hours.
Clubs should review their numbers of accredited Officials to ensure the upcoming Pennant Season runs smoothly. As a guide, clubs who participate in the Pennant Competition should have an absolute minimum of two Umpires, and the number of Umpires and/or Measurers should be at least 8% (one in 12) of the number of registered pennant players.
We encourage existing Officials to re-accredit as their experience is needed; however, Umpires and Measurers re-accrediting, will need to show that they can reliably carry out the physical activities of measuring, e.g. bending down to work at ground level and with a steady hand.
There are two venues to choose from:
| Dates | Venue | Time |
| Saturday 8th October 2022 | Sorrento | 9.00am |
| Saturday 8th October 2022 | Willetton | 12.30pm |
