Calling all football umpires

AFL Wimmera Mallee umpires kicked off training for 2022 on Monday at Horsham City Oval.

AFL Victoria’s Umpire Coach of the Year Cameron Pickering and a host of other experienced coaches and mentors led the session.

Mr Pickering said field, boundary and goal umpires were all required for the 2022 season.

“If you’ve retired from playing or are a junior with a love of football, come and join in one of the best kept secrets in football – umpiring,” he said. Training starts at 6pm on Mondays. Potential recruits are encouraged to follow AFL Wimmera Mallee Umpires on Facebook for updates or call Mr Pickering on 0428 922 589 for further information.
