Umpiring plays an important role in supporting our elite athletes to excel on the world stage and encouraging our local communities to participate, compete and enjoy Softball.

Over the years the national umpiring program has made significant progress in umpire development but there is much more to be done. We must ensure our umpiring workforce are properly qualified and have the skills and tools to work with all levels of athletes in our sport.

Local Umpire’s Clinic are often held also by North Harbour Softball Umpires Association.
