Garville Netball Club is proud to include the coloured shirts program as a component of our umpire development initiative. Any new umpires are admitted into the program and provided with a green and white t-shirt and with as much mentoring and information as possible.

The aims of the Coloured Shirt Program are to:
– Make new officials easily identifiable, so that they are easy to recognise and support
– Raise awareness and increase the recognition and support of new officials
– Assist in reducing pressure and lessening abuse and conflict directed towards new officials
– Create a culture of support towards these new officials via the education of players, spectators, coaches and the media about Codes of Conduct, Play By The Rules, Sideline Rage and Sport Rage.
