Years Umpiring and how old were you when you started: 2014 will be my fourth year. I was 13 when I started

Reason for umpiring: Originally started just because dad umpired however my first training session my dad couldn’t make it, and I went by myself. Being introduced to the group as Chickenman’s daughter and the responses of jokes from the group, I knew then i’d continue to come due to the comfortableness and entertaining welcome. Once I met the people and had a run around I knew I would stick around. Didn’t mind the idea of making money as well haha

I enjoy being a part of the Riddell umpires because: The people are genuinely great. Its like a family or a unconventional football team haha. A mixture of entertainers, Authority, old and young, big and small, females, talented, comedians, all with a common interest in football. Your’re bound to laugh when around them, they make umpiring just that much more worth it.
