NCNC Kiwi Whistlers 

​​​​​​​These superstars umpire the Year 3 & 4 games on a Thursday and Friday afternoons at MainPower Stadium over 10 weeks.  KiwiWhistlers can choose to umpire on a Thursday or Friday or both afternoons. 

Kiwi Whistlers must be Year 6 at school or older.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When the season starts, each week before the games starts all the Kiwi Whistlers have a briefing with Vickie Bond, our Junior Umpire Coordinator, to revise a rule or umpiring technique.   

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.
