Hi all,
The women and girls umpiring program kicked off on Monday 2nd September and the increment weather did not keep anyone away!
We had a fantastic turnout and I’d like to thank all clubs in the region for getting behind the program. Week 2 is set to be fantastic as the girls take to the ground.
It’s not too late for you or a woman/girl you know to join in on the action! Register on the below link:

Participants will get a whistle and on-field umpiring top for FREE!
Once more, I encourage all clubs to spread awareness of the program to not only introduce more women and girls to the great game but also bolster umpiring numbers in 2025 – this will positively impact on umpiring quality for your club as the talent pool diversifies.
Regards,
Ryan Mann – Umpire Operations Coordinator
