About Yarra Ranges Umpires

We provide AFL Umpires to the Outer East League across all disciplines.

Our Umpires officiate in Men’s, Women’s, Junior Boys and Junior Girls competitions. 


The YRUA is dedicated to the training and development of all our umpires.   We are a diverse Club who love keeping fit and enjoy the challenge of umpiring a fast-paced game of football.  AFL Umpires play a key role in the most popular sport in Australia and YRUA are proud to be a part of this iconic Australian Institution.


The Outer East is a football and netball league based on the Outer Eastern Border of Melbourne, covering the councils of Yarra Ranges, Cardinia, Casey, and Murrindindi.  Outer East is responsible for growing and developing both Australian Rules Football (AFL) and Netball across the region.


Yarra Ranges Umpires was also previously know as Dandenong Ranges Junior Football League (DRJFL) Umpires Association and also Yarra Valley Mountain Districts Football League (YVMDFL) Umpires Association. In 2003 Yarra Ranges Umpires was formed as these Leagues became one under Outer East. Go to our Honour Rolls and Games Boards page to find out more and meet our Committee below!
