    Would you believe the worst I saw last year was regularly at under 11 level!

    It's the first time kids at that age play for points & the way some parents (& grandparents) carry on is a real worry. You'd think it was life & death.

        Experienced it first hand TCD when I umpired for the juniors a few years back.
        Not only the parents some of the language coming from the kid's.

            Just thought I'd update this, now that the season is over.

            Ryan umpired most of the season doing Division 2 seniors, but did manage to umpire 3 games in Division 1 seniors. Pretty decent effort for a 15 year old!

            He just needs to work on his fitness to regularly umpire Division 1 seniors, so he's going to do running training over Summer.

            Here he is in action in ifs fist game in Div 1 seniors, St. Albans v Yarraville.

                        Great effort Ryan does the AFL have people in place to help with the fitness training of young umpires Coon Dog might be a way to keep more young people interested if there is a defined pathway.

                            Is he going on the GC trip this weekend? I assume at 15 he is not

                                Congratulations to Ryan and you for supporting him.
                                I like his ump's uniform, it's great that they reflect the Bulldog's colours.

                                    No, WRFL umpires train at Maidstone during the season.

                                    During Summer he has 2 alternatives, train with Terry McGarrity who has a running stable at Braybrook where a number of AFL umpires run. This year there will be running training a couple of nights per week overseen by the Umpires Boss, Mark Westgarth at MacKillop College in Werribee.

                                        No, he's not. I guess he could if he wanted, he's loaded!

                                                He doesn't look like a pup now. Perhaps he should be known as the Coon Dawg or Junior.
