NCNC Kiwi Whistlers
These superstars umpire the Year 3 & 4 games on a Thursday and Friday afternoons at MainPower Stadium over 10 weeks.
Kiwi Whistlers must be Year 6 at school or older.
To prepare our Kiwi Whistlers, NCNC run a 1-day workshop to learn how to umpire, and then head out to practice.
When the season starts, each week before the games starts all the Kiwi Whistlers have a briefing with Vickie Bond and the umpire helpers to go over what they need for that day. Each Kiwi Whistler will have an umpire helper with them, supporting them on the side line. Once the Kiwi Whistlers become more confident the helpers will reduce to one per court, and then sometimes one helper per two courts.
