The Bathurst Netball Association Committee has been discussing ways to try and eliminate umpire/player fatigue on match days. As you all know, we have experienced an extreme shortage of umpires over the past couple of years and the umpires we do have are having to umpire multiple games on match days. Feedback we have received from our umpires and some players is that the 3.45pm senior game time slot makes for a very long day and by the time this game comes around, umpires are exhausted and not able to give their best.
The committee has been discussing two potential ideas for the 2023 season to combat this fatigue. The aim of this survey is to determine if either of these ideas would be supported by our members. ***Please note, the results of this survey does not mean that either one of these ideas will be implemented in 2023. A proper discussion will be had with our members before any changes are made.***
