International Umpiring Manager, Christina Davidson said;
‘It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to lead a session on International Umpiring Procedures in Barbados to such an engaged group of netball volunteers. Governance and administration is key to enabling the sport to progress and have clear pathways for those involved. The presentation on the updated Rules of Netball given by the INF ITP and ITP Cadet was also very valuable so that all involved are informed. Thanks to Barbados Association of Netball Umpires for hosting this important event.’
