Get Paid to Get Fit
Umpiring is a great way to improve your’ fitness. Umpiring rates start in QLD generally start at $25 for a 48 minute U/12s game, and can reach $130 for a Senior Field Umpire. And when you think that you can be paid up to $90,000 a year as an AFL Umpire, then it is a lot better than paying for a gym membership!
Develop your Personal Skills
Umpiring can build your confidence, help you make important decisions under pressure, and improve your interpersonal and communication skills. You will not get better training in all these areas than by being an Umpire.
Be the Best
Are you fit, dedicated, motivated and hard-working? If you want to Umpire some amazing football, then there are pathways in place to help you get to the top. Umpiring can take you around Queensland and Australia, umpiring in Regional, State and National Championships, and perhaps all the way to the AFL.
Get Involved
Just looking to get involved with AFL, without becoming an elite umpire? No problems! There are plenty opportunities throughout Queensland for those umpires who would just like to have a run around on the weekend, earn some extra money and be involved with Australia’s Game. Umpiring works around your work and life commitments.
Umpiring is a great way to stay active, get paid, whilst having fun.
