Become a Rebels Umpire

Rebels values, encourages and is committed to the development of our Junior and Senior Umpires each season. Becoming a Rebels Umpire is not just about officiating the game, it is also about helping players enjoy the game and develop their full potential. Umpires play a crucial role in ensuring fair play, enforcing the rules and maintaining the integrity of the game.

Umpiring is a great way to stay connected to the game, forge new friendships and staying fit and healthy. It also develops essential skills such as communication, resilience and leadership which are wonderful life skills to have.

Rebels will provide multiple opportunities for umpire skill development sessions, prior and throughout the season.

Open Umpire Requirements

When registering for Open divisions, it is important to know your team are required to fulfil a weekly umpiring allocation given to them by FNA. This means you, or a team mate need to be available for the alternating time slot for the 15 rounds. If and when the coordinator is able to provide an affiliated umpire, you will then be required to pay the affiliated umpire prior to the game.

Failure to Umpire – FNA imposes a $100 fine per duty to the club along with a team penalty of 2 premiership points deducted. The fine will be passed onto the rostered Umpire as well as a further $45 to pay the substitute Umpire - totalling $145. If you incur a fine you will be unable to play until it is paid.
