Umpiring
National Umpiring Program
To promote safety and fair play in the game of polo, and to encourage and guide umpiring activity and training, the Australian Polo Federation Ltd has developed a National Umpiring program under the Australian Sports Commission’s National Officiating Accreditation Scheme. The programs are designed to assist the Australian and State Associations in the proper organisation and presentation of courses for umpires.
