Nora Umpire

During the Covid-19 outbreak, we want to keep in touch with our teams and umpires, and get to know them even better whilst we’re off the court.

In our third episode we’re getting to know Nora, who has umpired on most nights but more recently has been site managing on a Wednesday in Angel.

Nora has been keeping active with fellow netballers providing her with some personal Pilates sessions and has been settling down with old Friends. She is dusting her whistle weekly and getting up to date with the 2020 rule book. And yeah we had to look up “goose neck” also 🤣

Episode 1 – Groovers

Episode 2 – Hoopz and Honeyz

Got any Lockdown life hacks to share?

Invest in a ‘goose neck’ for your phone, means that when you do FaceTime / video call meetings your arm doesn’t get sore 🤣
