AFL Victoria has Umpiring Academies throughout metropolitan Melbourne to allow young people to become involved in umpiring football without having to travel significant distances to umpire association groups. The umpiring academies are based in a school environment and held after school so young people can go straight from their school to the umpiring academy and be able to be picked up by parents around the time that most parents get home from work.
The Western Region AFL Umpiring Academy will commence training at MacKillop College Werribee on Monday 15 March at 4.00pm. If you are interested and want to find out more about umpiring, you are invited to attend an information session at MacKillop College Werribee on Monday 1st March at 7.30.
Representatives from the AFL (including current AFL field, boundary and goal umpires), Western Region Football League and AFL Umpiring Academy coaching panel will discuss the benefits gained by attending the umpiring academy. This will give anyone who is interested in the academy the opportunity to ask questions so they fully understand the opportunity being offered.
