VAFA Field Umpires 2012 Coaching Manual VAFA Field Umpires 2012 Coaching Manual EXPECTATIONS In preparing to umpire in the VAFA in 2012, I’d like you to consider what the coaches expectations are of you as umpires. A few thoughts are listed below but you might have others in mind: Strive for an excellent knowledge and understanding of the Laws, their Interpretations and the Spirit of the Laws Train regularly with purpose and enthusiasm Attend and participate fully in coaching sessions Seek continual self-improvement Attempt to apply feedback from your coaches Be open, honest and approachable in your communication with your coaches and the football community Be loyal and supportive of your colleagues Build positive relationships with the football community Take pride in the job that you’re doing Be a role model in behaviour and personal appearance Place the safety and welfare of the match participants above all else More, please… In the two umpire system, umpires using their partner’s whistle as a trigger In the three umpire system, the MZ umpire taking control of ball ups and boundary throw ins from around 35 metres to the arc. Reason: there must always be an umpire in the EZ close to goal Umpires working as a team. Good consultation between all umpires. Plenty of tap throughs, including awareness of the position of the other umpire for “chest tap throughs” For set shots at goal, the umpire staying at the mark until the player with the ball has stopped moving For set shots at goal, the umpire displaying forward vision while and after backing off For effective set kick control in general play, umpires should be no more than 15 metres away Umpires using their voice instead of their whistle for effective set kick control Umpires going in to set up the mark when the ball goes out of bounds on the full, especially near the behind post At boundary throw ins, no more than 15 metres away For a consultation, blow time on; the first question you ask is: What did you see? No leading questions No unnecessary talk such as calling play on at ruck contests, when marks aren’t taken on the first grab or when players dive on the ball Umpires being specific with their instructions, e.g. “come back two metres, please”, “wait till I’ve blown time on, please” etc Umpires checking their appointment, arriving at least one hour before the scheduled starting time with all the right gear Umpires knowing and using the names of all the other appointed umpires Umpires ready to tell the match day observer their focus areas for the day Umpires holding back on the whistle for a fraction of a second, thinking through the process and getting the decision correct: WAIT Umpires blowing time on when they pay 25 metre penalties Umpires only calling advantage when play is continuous and the player elects to take it Umpires NOT calling advantage if players elect not to take it; if play is not continuous; for centre square or circle infringements; when out of zone free kicks are paid Umpires not recalling advantages (can never be done if you’ve called it) OUT OF ZONE FREE KICKS 1. In general play, if you see an infringement that you believe the controlling umpire has missed, your first consideration is NOT: Do I pay this free kick? Your first consideration is: What position is the umpire in? If he or she is on the same plane as you and has no players obstructing their view, as a general rule, you should refrain from paying free kicks. If, however, you believe the controlling umpire is not in the best position to see the infringement, then your next consideration is: Am I 100% sure of what I’ve seen? Therefore, the whistle will be later than normal because you as the non- controlling umpire are weighing up the factors above. As a non-controlling umpire, you CANNOT pay free kicks for HOLDING THE BALL or other areas that are open to interpretation such as DELIBERATE OUT OF BOUNDS (unless the ball has been knocked over on the full at a ruck contest and is not seen by the umpire) or DELIBERATE RUSHED BEHINDS (unless the ball is knocked over the scoring area on the full and is not seen by the umpire). 2. Free kicks at stoppages. This is an area where you have to be careful. The Laws of football do not specifically cover this area but there are infringements such as “pushing, bumping or blocking an opposition player when the football is further than 5 metres away... or is out of play”. Therefore, early in the match you should be identifying who the key onballlers are and their run with opponents and keeping a close eye on them. Being proactive with your communication (“no blocks or holds”, “let him have a clear run” etc) should be your first priority. Of course this equally applies to the umpire in control and those who are not officiating at the time. SEND OFFS IN VAFA FOOTBALL Yellow Card This is for send offs for an audible obscenity without a report being made. The player may be replaced immediately. The offending player is off for 12 minutes of playing time. (In Under 18 and Under 19 matches, players behaving in a generally unruly manner may be sent off using a Yellow Card without report) Red Card This is for most reportable incidents. The player may not be replaced. The player may return or be replaced after 12 minutes of playing time. Black Card This is for SERIOUS INCIDENTS including but not limited to: KICKING, ATTEMPTING TO KICK, EYE GOUGING, MAKING CONTACT WITH OR STRIKING AN UMPIRE, A SERIOUS ACT OF MISCONDUCT. The player may not return to the field. The player may be replaced after 12 minutes of playing time. If boundary or goal umpires make reports, you need to accompany them to the reported player where they will notify the player of the report. You can then show the appropriate card. TACKLING THE PLAYER IN POSSESSION o A player in possession of the ball and tackled illegally will be awarded a free kick o The player who has possession of the ball and is tackled correctly by an opponent shall be given a reasonable time to kick or handball or attempt to kick or handball the ball o The player who has possession of the ball and has had an opportunity to dispose of it and is then tackled correctly by an opponent, must immediately kick or handball the ball o The ball shall be kept in motion There are 4 distinct areas related to tackling players in possession: DIVING ON THE BALL (Law 15.2.5) Did the player DIVE ON THE BALL or DRAG THE BALL IN? Was he tackled legally? Did he knock it clear immediately? If not, holding the ball should be paid RUCK CONTESTS (Law 15.2.3 c) Did the player take the ball out of the ruck? Was he tackled legally? Did he kick or handball immediately after being tackled? If not, holding the ball should be paid PRIOR OPPORTUNITY (Law 15.2.3 a) Did the player take 3 steps? Was the player swung 360 degrees? Did the player bounce the ball? Did the player already beat one tackle? Was the player tackled legally? Did he actually kick or handball? NO PRIOR OPPORTUNITY (Law 15.2.3 b) Was the player claimed immediately? Was it a legal tackle? Did the player attempt to kick or handball? If the player has one arm free, he has to make an effort to kick or handball To pay holding the ball there must be a legal tackle A bump is NOT a tackle A push in the side or front is NOT a tackle Knocking a player’s arm is NOT a tackle Knocking the ball out a player’s grasp (unless this is also part of a tackle) is NOT a tackle A tackle above the shoulders (including on top of the shoulders) or below the knees is NOT a legal tackle RUCK CONTESTS If the ball is taken out of the ruck, WAIT… If there is a legal tackle and the player does not kick or handball immediately (after the tackle), it is HOLDING THE BALL. If it is a poor throw in, bounce or ball up, recall it. DIVING ON THE BALL or DRAGGING IT IN When a player dives on the ball or drags it in, WAIT… Don’t be in a rush to ball it up. Wait and see if there is a legal tackle. If there is, the player who dragged the ball in must knock it clear immediately after he is tackled. If a team mate of the “diver” is holding the ball in, that is a huge clue that holding the ball should be paid. However, there still must be a tackle. Falling on the ball after being bumped or tackled is NOT diving on the ball. In this instance, the player on the ball must make an ATTEMPT when tackled. PRIOR OPPORTUNITY Prior opportunity is regarded as having taken 3 steps OR being spun at least 360 degrees OR already having beaten one tackle but not the second. If any of these occur and there is a legal tackle, the attempt to kick or handball must be successful or holding the ball should be paid. NO PRIOR OPPORTUNITY An attempt to kick or handball is OK. But again, to pay holding the ball, WAIT… and see if the player does not make a genuine attempt to dispose of the ball.

Clubs are also seeking to build the capacity and skills of volunteers for club game day officials by providing game day training and experience. We have been supported in the development of this project by AFL Sydney. For 2019 we have chosen the AFLX format to ensure maximum participation with two fields and two pools operating on the day. The Breakaways designed the Challenge event as a Carnival & Clubs Picnic to encourage comradery amongst the women’s clubs and players while still engaging in competitive football. We encourage teams to spread the story about women’s AFL. Use the promotional material with your club logo and bring you friends, team mates and support your team - bring a marquee, picnic and picnic rugs - enjoy the day.

  • Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: a Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J
    Janetzki et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00301-1 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J. Janetzki1* , Pitre C. Bourdon1, Kevin I. Norton1, Jackson C. Lane1 and Clint R. Bellenger1,2 Abstract Background: There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL). Objective: This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints. Results: Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p=0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p=0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p=0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Yarra Junior Football League Umpires Information Booklet Season 2017
    YARRA JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE UMPIRES INFORMATION BOOKLET SEASON 2017 Umpire within the Spirit of the Laws Carry Out Administrative Duties Above all “Enjoy” your Umpiring Message from the Umpires Coaching Panel Congratulations to all Field, Boundary and Goal Umpires who have made a decision to either continue with the YJFL this year, or umpire with us for the first time. This Information Booklet should be taken to all matches as it covers many aspects of umpiring and will answer some queries that may arise. An umpire is required to be a person of sound character, willing to accept advice and constructive feedback and above all, to interpret the rules of the game in a fair and equitable manner. He or she must always act in a manner which places the umpire above reproach and which ensures the integrity of the YJFL and the Umpiring Group. Once an umpire lodges a Registration Form it will be noted by the Umpires coaching panel and will confirm acceptance as a listed YJFL umpire. You will not be appointed to YJFL matches until registered. We wish you enjoyment and success in your umpiring; keeping in mind your level of commitment will have a bearing on your level of success. Umpires Coaching Panel. YJFL Umpiring 1 FITNESS Fitness plays a very big part in the standard of your performance. The less physical fatigue you suffer during a match, the less will be the mental fatigue and in turn the better your decision making will be. For this reason, Field, Boundary and Goal umpires should be prepared to attend pre-season training and each Wednesday or Thursday night session throughout the season.

  • 2016 Female Diversity Championships
    2016 Female Diversity Championships DAY 2 Match Report Kickstart South Australia were still searching for their first win of the season after being on the end of a brilliant team performance from Victoria. The Vics took the game convincingly, setting up the match in the first half, to sit comfortably 15 points up at half-time. Hailee-Jane Stokes was a stalwart in defence halting the South Australians entry as Chelsea Briggs-Baksh kicked a goal and produced plenty of assists in the 4.7 (31) to 0-1 (1) victory. Kickstart A blistering second half from Tasmania saw the side nearly pinch their first win of the Kickstart tournament when taking on NSW/ACT. Frantic calls were coming from the Tasmanian bench as the ball hovered around centre half forward in the final minutes of the game. But on the last line of defence Rheanin Booth took a strong mark in the goal square to ensure her side would take victory. Erin Naden backed up stunning performances on the first day with another blistering game. She showed her class with an outstanding run through the centre of the ground shrugging off a host of opposition players to send the ball inside fifty, helping her team to a 1.4 (10) to 1.0 (6) win. All Nations Northern Territory may not have got the result against Western Australia but their sportsmanship on the field reflected the meaning of inclusion at the tournament. Both sides shared a laugh and a chat before the second half got underway, but pleasantries stopped when the ball was thrown up.
