UMPIRES
Welcome to 2025!
​
We are getting ready to kick off our Seasons for 2025 starting with our Thursday Night Junior competition on the 13th February and our Saturday Competition which starts on Saturday 15th February.
UMPIRE REGISTRATION
Before we get started we need all umpires to register with the association using this link 2025 EDNA UMPIRE/STAFF REGISTRATION FORM
UMPIRE DEVELOPMENT
Also in 2025 we will be embarking on a new umpire training and development approach across all competitions, with Umpire Coaches and Umpire Mentors working across the competitions, giving more feedback, mentoring and development for all umpires.
Umpire Coaches and some Umpire Mentors will be completing feedback and evaluation forms for all umpires that they work with per timeslot. This information will come through to me to help with the allocating of games, to help with umpires development and progression. Some of this information will be shared with Umpires so that they can continue to work on and grow their umpiring skills.
​
If you would like to familiarise yourself with the feedback form that the Umpire Coaches will be using please click on this link 2025 UMPIRE FEEDBACK/EVALUATION FORM
To be open and transparent to all umpires about what the Umpire Coaches/Mentors roles are, you are welcome to look at the Position Descriptions of both Umpire Coaches and Umpire Mentors.
