Swan District Junior Football Umpire Association is one of the oldest Umpiring Clubs in Perth. In 2024, the club celebrated 60yrs of mentoring our youngsters and placing tremendous value on social benefits, creating better communities through the values of teamwork, responsibility, respect, leadership, commitment, and community participation.

In 2024, we moved to a new training ground at Boya Oval / Community Centre which is more central to our district and current umpires and this has encouraged more aspiring umpires from the hills community to join our club. We had 23 new umpires last year with over half returning this year and 16 new umpires for 2025. As such we need to replace and increase our training resources.

As a local club, all our umpires, umpire for Junior AFL clubs in the Perth hill’s area throughout the Cities of Swan, Mundaring, and Kalamunda. Our current umpire’s range in age from 12yrs of age right up to some of our senior umpires being in their 60s and who provide valuable and unprecedented experience and mentoring to our younger umpires in the disciplines of goals, boundary, and field. We strive to provide the opportunity for everyone in our community to participate in healthy, safe, and inclusive Umpiring Junior AFL activities and readily encourage a fun and family orientated environment. We are proud to boast several family groups of fathers and sons and siblings all of whom will at times umpire matches together to strengthen the bonds of family enjoying a sport together.
