All Brisbane Hockey Association (BHA) umpires are paid
for by the BHA. Valley Hockey Club Inc. therefore
does not offer additional payments to umpires for boys or men's games.
All Clubs affiliated with the Brisbane Women’s Hockey
Association (BWHA) have an obligation to provide appropriately skilled umpires
at all levels in which the Club fields teams, at the cost of each individual
Club. In 2019 we fielded 23 womens/girls
teams and as such, needed 23 umpires each week capable of umpiring U7 juniors
to Division 1 senior games. 2020 will be
a similar scenario.
$50.00
Fee Discount for Volunteer Umpires
We will happily accept help from Beginner Umpires
right up to the highest level Badged Umpires.
We will be sure to place each umpire on a game that suits each
individual, and if you are a beginner umpire, please rest assured that we will
provide you with a mentor to walk you through every step. Volunteers who wish to receive their $50.00
Fee Discount will be required to umpire 2 games. Please contact Lisa Hollis for Junior Grass
umpire allocations, and Liz Lobb for Senior Umpire allocations. (the
Volunteer Discount is not applicable to Masters and Senior Grass players as
these teams provide their own umpires).

Summary
of Umpire Payments
You must umpire at least 5 games to qualify for
payment by Valley Hockey Club (womens and girls divisions). Once you umpire your 6th game then
all games, including your first five games, will be paid as follows:
·
Badged Umpires
(Turf) $20.00 per game.
·
Badged Umpires
(Junior Grass) $10.00 per game.
·
An Umpire Mentor
(must be badged) $10.00 per game.
·
If a Badged
Umpire is carrying out their 2 Volunteer Fee Discount games then they will not
be paid for those games, nor will those games count towards their first 5 games
to qualify for payment. (these games can
be listed with BWHA for any payments made by BWHA)
·
Non-badged
Umpires (at any level) will not be entitled to payment however they will be
mentored, supported and encouraged by the Club to get their Community Badge.
·
Beginner Umpires
who require a Mentor will not be paid (as the Mentor is paid for that game),
except that they can qualify for the $50.00 Fee Discount by umpiring 2 games
with their Mentor.
Please note that BWHA also pays a small fee to all
badged umpires on Senior Grass, Junior Turf, Senior Turf and Masters games. Payment is made according to the badge level
held. Badged umpires are entirely
responsible for making their own application to BWHA for any umpire payments
that may be offered by BWHA. See BWHA
