How would you like to assist your club and get paid for it, and in doing so learn great life skills?

We have a number of Junior Football umpiring positions available for the 2024 season which we invite you to apply for. You don’t need to have experience as we will train you. You will be umpiring the modified games played by the under 8’s through to under 11’s Girls. You don’t need to have elite fitness as these games are played on smaller modified ovals and with quarters lasting only 10 minutes each.
