Role of umpire

CODE OF ETHICS

Courtesy

You should be courteous and respectful to all the players and be ready to have a discussion and interact during match situations. However, you must not hold long discussions about a decision you have made. Never talk to players whilst the ball is in play will upset your concentration Value the individual

Remember that the match that you are umpiring is important to every player on the field. Some players will not be as good as others but you must never comment about the ability of any player in front of your colleague or other players. Similarly, never pass comment to players about the decisions made by your colleague Self improvement

You must seek continual self improvement through study, performance appraisal and regular updating of competencies - you never stop learning. Without it you are likely to develop bad habits and will not advance up the rankings Role model
