Netball Fees

We have kept our fees as low as possible this year to make it easier to join and enjoy netball.

There will be some fundraising involved this year so our players can enjoy the End of Year celebration.

The fees you pay to Thunderbolts include the RNA Capitation Fee plus an amount towards our own Club’s operational costs (cost of umpires, equipment, coaching resources, etc).

Thunderbolts will be passing on the majority of your playing fees to the RNA.

What is a Trainee?

A Trainee has completed the RNA Umpiring course (4 weeks) and the online theory exam.  The trainee is placed on games at RNA (usually 8am or 9.30am) with an experienced umpire/mentor right beside you to guide and instruct you with the finer points of becoming a competent and confident Umpire.

How many games a week will I get as a Trainee?

There will be a roster system for trainees. Trainees can only be placed on certain time slots and that only allows us a certain number of Trainees per week. The roster will be as fair as possible.

How long will I be a Trainee?

As long as it takes to ensure that you are confident and competent, this can be anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years.....everybody is different.

When will I know if I am ready to be assessed?

Your experienced umpire/mentor will advise when you are ready for assessment and the RNA will come to a game and watch you. You will find out on the spot if you have passed. If you pass you will then be a qualified Umpire. ☺

How much money can I earn?

You can earn anywhere from $8-$16 for each game you umpire once you are qualified. The amount depends on your level of accreditation. When you are a trainee you are not paid.
