When it comes to volunteering, our willing umpires shine bright in white! Many give up their Saturdays, fill-gaps short notice, and somehow also make time to upskill others through workshop facilitation, exam tutoring, mentoring, coaching & observations. Thank you for your outstanding contribution 🥰

Our rep paparazzo John jumped at the opportunity to support our rep teams & umpires on Sunday while merrily snapping a pic or two… here’s the Betty Steffensen Tournament from his perspective for your viewing pleasure! 🤩

All four of our U16 & U18 rep teams had a good time at the annual Betty Steffensen Tournament held in Palmerston North on Sunday. Well done to all team management for managing to get everyone on court. So great seeing players work on their combinations and umpires continue to broaden their vision in the lead up to attending North Island Junior Champs & NNZ U18 Champs. Thanks for hosting Netball Manawatū!
