Jim Cail - Umpire Accreditation
0:00:04.160,0:00:08.760
Jim Cail, AFL, I'm the National Umpiring Development
Manager.

To become a level one umpire you obviously
have to meet the competencies that are required
0:00:13.660,0:00:17.710
and demonstrate the competencies that are
required to be a level one umpire, and you
0:00:17.710,0:00:24.710
need to be observed 3 times by an umpires
coach. So, in the delivery of the accreditation,
0:00:25.539,0:00:31.769
the umpires coach, it's a yearlong process,
in which the coach will, they might have a
0:00:31.769,0:00:38.769
session on match management, they might have
a session on communication, positioning, decision
0:00:39.710,0:00:46.570
making, so it will be stretched out throughout
the whole year. But obviously if an umpire
0:00:46.570,0:00:51.230
is really starting to come along and the coach
believes that they are starting to really
0:00:51.230,0:00:55.600
demonstrate already the competencies that
are required, there's no reason the coach
0:00:55.600,0:01:02.600
can't sign them off, conduct the 3 observations
and then sign them off. The accreditation
0:01:02.850,0:01:08.940
for us is not time bound, it's purely based
on the umpires competencies, so it may take
0:01:08.940,0:01:13.830
one umpire six weeks, but it may take another
umpire two years, so we don’t have any dramas
0:01:13.830,0:01:20.830
with that, they're undertaking their accreditation
and showing willingness to improve, we are
0:01:21.030,0:01:22.800
fully supportive of that.
0:01:22.800,0:01:27.350
Level one accreditation is delivered by our
umpire coaches which is further evidence of
0:01:27.350,0:01:32.510
the emphasis that we place on developing our
umpire coaches, because it's these guy's and
0:01:32.510,0:01:39.510
girls that deliver our accreditation at community
level. Earlier this year, we made umpire accreditation
0:01:40.900,0:01:47.160
compulsory, nationally and that will come
in, in a couple of years time, but we believe
0:01:47.160,0:01:54.160
that with accreditation becoming compulsory
we now really set a standard, a minimum standard
0:01:55.210,0:02:01.310
that we expect umpires to be able to achieve
in order to participate in the game.
