To ensure consistency of standard applied to umpiring in the sport of petanque, PFA is developing a pathway for the development of umpires.
PFA defines umpires as follows:

    • Level 1: Club Umpire
    • Level 2: State Umpire
    • Level 3: National Umpire
    • Level 4: Confederation Umpire
    • Level 5: International Umpire

To support these umpires the PFA Director of Umpiring has developed a series of workshops and examinations for Levels 1-3. Development and accreditation for Level 3 and 4 is managed by FIPJP. For opportunities to qualify as a PFA Umpire, contact your club, State Director of Umpiring or the National Director of Umpiring.
