The AFL Brisbane Juniors Umpires had a great night on Monday the 7th March to launch the beginning of their season. The night was attended by AFL Brisbane Juniors Board Members, Administration Staff and Coaches as well as over 80 umpires and their families.
The Season Launch was a chance to welcome back returning umpires and also to welcome into our umpiring family the new (green shirt) umpires for season 2011. The night was an information session for all umpires advising of an changes we have made during the off season which were a few.
The night began with an introduction of the coaching staff for season 2011 which contained 3 returning coaches Ian Sippel, Steve Davis and James Price and introduced a new coach to our Panel Lachlan Chambers. For more information about the coaches please click here.
After introduction of the coaches the group then welcomed its new umpires with a presentation of their green shirt uniforms and also with thanks to their buddies who will assist these new umpires all year.
Last official item to be addressed at the end of the night was the announcement of the Leaders for our group. With 8 quality nominations for the role and only 4 spots available the coaching staff had a tough decision on their hands. But after much deliberation the 4 leaders were announced.
