Developed by netballers for netball

Officiate is the first app of its kind designed exclusively for netball. As netballers and umpires ourselves, we understand how painful it can be for a team finding an umpire for that critical match, or as an umpire being bombarded with requests on Facebook, WhatsApp, email etc.
With automatic umpire verification with England Netball, clubs can be confident of booking qualified and registered umpires.
streamlined

Streamlined umpire booking and personalised communications

Officiate will connect clubs and umpires by location, streamline the way matches are booked, and provide flexible payment options too. All bookings are easily downloadable to your calendar, and in the event of a last minute cancellation, Officiate will help find an alternative as a priority.
For us this is about solving a real pain point for netballers. We do have to cover our costs but for active club users, this will be less than ÂŁ1.50 per match. And umpires you're free for the first year!

The Team Behind the Idea

Three netballers, tired of the admin headaches that come with finding and booking umpires, created Officiate. Inspired by our own experiences, we designed a platform to streamline the process and allow netballers to focus on the game.

“Officiate has enabled us to connect to new umpires across Surrey and London in what feels like an ever increasing difficult task to find umpires. Despite joining part way through the season we’ve been able to fill a significant number of fixtures, including at the last minute.”
Sam, Weybridge Vandals NC, Club
“As a new club entering the leagues it’s been tough finding umpires through the usual channels. We’ve had to forfeit a game due to not being able to source an umpire. Now using Officiate, we have all our umpires booked for the rest of the season! The app is easy to use and I love the fact you can use it on an adhoc basis (we are a small club, looking for only a few umpires during the season, so don’t need a subscription).”
Melissa, Claygate Village NC , Club
“The Officiate Netball app is fantastic! It’s so easy to see available games and their locations, ensuring every match is covered. Plus, it shows clubs that I’m a qualified umpire, giving them confidence in my abilities. Highly recommend it!”
Cate, Oxshott NC , Umpire
“Officiate is a great way to advertise for umpires. I have been able to see at a glance what games are available and accessible for me and just at a click request to umpire the game. It even goes into my calendar so no confusion as to where and when I will be umpiring”
Carol, Focus NC, Umpire
“Officiate has been developed by netballers for the netball community.
The team have worked super hard to develop the app to help clubs find umpires and for umpires to pick up additional games specific to location and times.
As an umpire myself, using the app is easy. It’s got various search functions and I’ve been able to help out several clubs with last minute fixtures so it’s a win / win for all!”
Vicky, Fetcham NC , Umpire
