Jarrod Clarke began his umpiring journey only last year, and he managed to umpire 4 Grand finals, including the Under 19.5's competition. Anything is possible in your first year!
'I found that umpiring in my first year not only improved my self-confidence, but also communication, which equips people with real life skills in the workforce'
'I would encourage anyone (especially young people) who have a passion for the game to get involved in umpiring'
Jarrod is looking forward to beginning his second year of umpiring and hopes to go above and beyond in 2019!
3 Weeks until our first training session for 2019!
February 6th, Machperson Park - Oval 1, at 6pm

The winner of the Riddell Umpires 2018 Golden Whistle Brayden Howard believes that the friendships and fitness you gain from umpiring during his 5 years at the Riddell Umpires is the best thing about umpiring.
'It is a great way to get fit and create life long friendship groups'
We encourage anyone who is interested in umpiring to give it go! We have 3 different disciplines in field umpiring, boundary umpiring, and goal umpiring.
