In December 2023, World Netball launched the Rules of Netball 2024 edition, along with free educational rules resources.

To ensure that all members of the netball family are educated on the new rules of netball, World Netball in collaboration with NETFIT, has created educational resources, including videos and documents detailing these changes.

The rule changes focus specifically on player safety and game management along with clarification and streamlining of existing rules such as contact and advantage. The layout of the rules has also been updated to simplify and encourage use by all of the netball family, not just umpires.

Please see some of the short videos below, clarifying rule updates.
For more educational resources, please visit: 2024 Rules of Netball.

Netball Victoria offers opportunities for umpires to progress through the Netball Australia Umpire Pathway, conducting courses and workshops.

All on-court umpires are required to complete a combination of practical umpiring hours and attend professional development opportunities over a four-year period in order to maintain their badge accreditation.

A wide selection of resources for umpires of all levels, along with programs and national blueprints for netball umpiring in Australia, are available on the Netball Victoria website.
