Join Team Green and become an Umpire4Fun participant in 2024!
The Umpire4Fun program was created to develop and nurture umpires at grassroots level across community clubs in Queensland, aimed at participants 12 years and above to get involved in umpiring. The program focuses on learning the fundamental skills of umpiring and developing knowledge of the game. Umpires are recruited to join their local club as club umpires and officiate Junior fixture games at their home venue throughout the home and away season, including U8 Mixed, U9 Girls, U9 Mixed, U10 Mixed and U11 Girls age groups. Club Umpire Coordinators are appointed to all clubs across Queensland to support and oversee the growth and development of individual umpires, as well as coordinate the appointments for umpires, umpire payments and uniform distribution for the program. The Umpire4Fun program involves all umpire training, education, support and ongoing development for young and new umpires interested in beginning their umpiring journey. Program inclusions:
