Are you interested in becoming an umpire?

We are always looking to recruit more umpires! If you are keen to get involved, or know someone who might be - please get in contact!

Umpiring local football is a fantastic way of keeping fit, meeting new friends and being involved in the action of our great Australian game.

Depending on your level of motivation and ambition, you can umpire for purely for social and general fitness reasons, or treat it as a sport where you can aim to excel at the highest level.

Like other sports, umpires have a dedicated coaching panel, training staff and observers who are all committed to making your umpiring experience an enjoyable one. 

Benefits of being an umpire include:

• Improve / maintain fitness

• Earn good money

• Meet new friends, and

• Be a major participant in our great game.
