The NFNL is looking for new recruits to join its umpiring team for the 2021 football season.
In 2021, NFNL Umpiring will provide coaches with recent VFL experience, along with AFL umpires attending training and talent pathway programs for umpires aspiring to higher levels.
For past players, the NFNL umpire coaching team has successful experience in developing former players into umpires, including Cameron Dore and Paul Rebeschini, who are both now AFL field umpires.
With the continual growth of the NFNL’s football competitions and a record number of matches predicted, we are actively seeking to add to our number of field, boundary and goal umpires.
You can umpire close to home, officiate back-to-back games and chose to umpire on Saturday or Sunday, or a combination of both.
Some umpires earn over $300 a weekend TAX FREE and others $500 a month – the choice is yours. Payments are made monthly and directly into your bank account.
NFNL Head of Umpiring Cameron Nash said umpiring is a great way to stay involved in the game and be active in the community – particularly for past players looking to keep fit, parents wanting to be active or football followers that would like to give umpiring a go.
Weekly training and coaching is provided to ensure new and returning umpires are continually developed.
“Many parents volunteer as goal and boundary umpires in our matches – here’s the perfect opportunity to get paid for it,” Nash said.
Be part of the community and become an umpire. Keep fit, help out, learn leadership skills, be part of a team and get paid for it – TAX FREE!
You never know, it might just take you all the way to the top. The average AFL umpire earns $120k a year, part time.
If you love your footy, you will love being an umpire.
The NFNL umpiring team trains at C.T. Barling Reserve (Plenty Rd, Reservoir). Junior field umpires will commence training on February 22 and all senior umpires on February 24. Sessions commence at 6pm.
For more information about becoming part of the NFNL’s umpiring team in 2021, please contact NFNL Head of Umpiring Cameron Nash.
