Where:: Chas Johnson Reserve, Packham Street, Shepparton
Cost:: Free

Participants will get to wave flags, throw a boundary throw in and practice the umpire bounce! All this before a fun ‘What’s Your Decision’ quiz inside on the big screen. There is no cost to come & try and is a great experience for anyone who wants to learn more about the rules of Australian Rules Football, gain some extra fitness and earn some extra cash on a weekend!

The Goulburn Valley Football Umpires Association (GVFUA) has been serving local Australian Rules Football around the Goulburn Valley since 1958.

We are one of the largest umpiring groups in Australia with close to 220 active members, We have many female umpires as well as a multiculturally diverse environment which all members are made feel welcome. The GVFUA also has a strong emphasis on families and social interactivity, which in turn, engenders great camaraderie between members of all ages and their families.

We are affiliated with AFL Goulburn Murray, supplying Field, Boundary and Goal Umpires to the Goulburn Valley League, Murray Football League, Kyabram District Football League, Shepparton & Seymour Junior Football Leagues & the Northern Country Womens League. We officiate games at football venues in an area stretching from Deniliquin in the north, Mansfield in the east, Rochester in the west and Seymour in the south and everywhere in between.

Our Club Rooms are located at Packham St, Shepparton and we train on the magnificently prepared and maintained Chas Johnson Reserve on Tuesday and Thursday evenings under fantastic lights. We also have training bases in Echuca, Kyabram and Seymour where sessions commence at 6.00pm.
