Umpire Development and Coaching
VAFA umpires are guided by a team of coaches who assist every umpire to get the best out of themselves and to achieve their own individual umpiring goals.
The programs in place and the resources available give every VAFA umpire the opportunity to develop as umpires and as people regardless of their umpiring level or aspirations.
