Role of umpires At some stage during the year, whether it is pre-season or during the season, there may be the need for coaches, players or other team staff to assist in umpiring a game of Australian Football. While by no means exhaustive, the following section provides an outline on the role of the field, boundary and goal umpires, including umpiring signals likely to be performed by umpires throughout a game. Some tips have also been provided to get started, should the opportunity arise to umpire a game. Role of the field umpire The field umpire has a crucial role to play in Australian Football and people need to practice to become umpires. The role of the field umpire on match-day is to: • Apply the rules and their interpretations according to the spirit of the laws. • Attend to the administrative requirements necessary for the successful staging of the game. General play Controlling the match is the major responsibility of the field umpire or umpires. While there are many factors that influence control, the way in which umpires go about their tasks is the most critical one. Tips for getting started Rules • Ensure you understand the rules of the game. Umpires are decision-makers • They have to have the courage of their convictions to make decisions irrespective of where on the ground or at what time of the match the need arises. • Pay the first free kick – do not allow scrimmages to go too long. Umpires need to demonstrate confidence in their decisions. Confidence is demonstrated by: • A strong, long whistle – BLOW it hard. • Communicate the decision verbally – e.g. “Push in the back, your free kick No. 7” Any message should be delivered in a strong, firm manner and voice. • Visual indications being performed in the correct manner whenever possible. SHOW everybody what the free kick is for. • Then GO. Once you have awarded the free kick, you should move promptly to take up position for the next act of play.
