Thank you for the 2024 Season
Important updates
Thank you to all our umpires for an extremely successful 2024 season. We look forward to seeing you all next year. Look out for registrations happening soon.
Preseason training will begin the first week of February. Watch this space for further details.
For those of you returning and for new umpires your preseason is what really sets you up for a hopefully injury free year and with the expert athletics and conditioning provided by our elite trainer Pulse8 we will be able to properly manage all different fitness levels without hopefully any issues. If you are in any doubt about an injury speak to them on the night they can help plan your way through the year.
As I have mentioned previously training has changed after taking on feedback from umpires in a focus group and we will be doing approximately half of the session in some sort of running drill.
All umpires are welcome including goal umpires who traditionally start a week or two later. In particular goal umpires can join in the strength and conditioning section and as much running as they feel comfortable with. I don’t think anyone would argue that the quicker you are in short bursts as a goal umpire the more likely you are to get under the flight of the ball and make the correct decision.
