UMPIRING PROGRAMS
The Stephen Michael Foundation recognises AFL Umpiring as a significant opportunity for youth and young adults to gain casual and part-time employment. AFL Umpiring also provides participants with an opportunity to improve self-confidence, develop communication ability, enhance leadership capabilities, make new friends and keep fit.
The Stephen Michael Umpiring Program is managed by Darryl Sinclair who boasts more than 40 years’ experience in umpiring and umpire coaching at the elite level. The umpiring program can cater for all levels of students and involves 3 core phases:
- Come and try umpiring
- Introduction to Umpiring
- Umpire Development
