Umpiring Guidance
All umpiring guidance information for NPUA members is located within the NPUA app, which is available to download form the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
The NPUA App also hosts the Graham Nash Video Portal, an online repository of well over 100 video clips, interviews, presentations and discussions to help increase the standard of performance within NPUA.
All of our umpire development resources and ideas focus around our key characteristics of high performing umpires. Learn more about them in this video:
