Welcome to the
Geelong Football Umpires League...the pinnacle
of country umpiring in Geelong &
Surrounding Districts
The Geelong
Football Umpires League (GFUL) has been serving
local Australian Rules Football in and around
the Western District and Geelong regions since
1935.
We are one of
the largest umpiring groups in Australia with
close to 270 active members, including males
and females, who officiate in approximately 100
games of football each weekend.
From 2006, the
GFUL have been affiliated with the Victorian
Country Football League (VCFL), supplying
Field, Boundary and Goal Umpires to the Geelong
Football League, the Bellarine Football League,
the Geelong and District Football League and
the Geelong Junior Football Leagues at football
venues in an area stretching from Werribee to
Colac and the Bellarine Peninsula.
Our Club Rooms
are located within the Kardinia Park Precinct
(between the Kardinia Park West ground on
LaTrobe Terrace and the main gates of Skilled
Stadium) and we train on the magnificently
prepared and maintained Geelong Cricket Ground
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
We have two
training sessions, the first commencing at
4.45pm and the second at 5.45pm and anyone
interested in finding out more about umpiring
with the GFUL is quite welcome to come and
observe a training session and have a chat
about what is involved. Newcomers are always
made welcome and are never pressured into
becoming a member.
Youngsters
under the age of 18 are always encouraged to
bring a parent with them on their first visit,
so that they too can see first hand, what type
of environment their child will be involved in
and form their own opinions.
The GFUL also
has a strong emphasis on families and social
interactivity, which in turn engenders great
camaraderie between members of all ages and
their families.
