Umpires Officiating Manual
Vision for Umpiring

"UMPIRING IS THE KEY TO ENSURING THAT THE LAWS OF THE SPORT ARE ADHERED TO AT ALL LEVELS OF PLAY"
Bowls New Zealand is excited to introduce the Vision for Umpiring: Technical Officials plan to our bowls community. The continued development of the quality and quantity of technical officials and tutors is fundamental to the supervision of the game, and the improvement of bowls. This plan sets the foundation for the national direction, regional development and alignment of umpiring in New Zealand.
Developed over four years, this plan is the culmination of work undertaken by the Bowls New Zealand Umpires Committee and is ready to be implemented by Clubs, Centres and Bowls New Zealand
What does this plan seek to achieve?
Quite simply, this plan seeks to increase the number of technical officials in our sport.
This is to be achieved through the promotion of clear pathways and opportunities to participate at centre, regional, national and international events and the creation of the Regional Umpires Development Teams (RUDTs).
