2024 USAFLUA Accreditations Awarded
Congratulations are in order! The following umpires earned accreditation this year at the Eastern/Central Super Regional, the Western Regional, or the USAFL Nationals Tournament.
Accreditation is a process and these umpires have shown not only the dedication to the profession of AFL umpiring, but the commitment to continue to grow and learn, to ask questions, to implement feedback, and to help their fellow umpires get better as well. A huge thank you to all the umpire coaches that have supported these umpires and helped them earn these accreditations.

Please join me in congratulating all our newly accredited umpires for 2024.
All these accreditations have been recorded in the UA database. We recognize the year’s accreditations at our Annual Umpire Fete Saturday night after day one of the Nationals and they take effect the weekend of the tournament in which they were awarded.
We look for further great things from them and everyone in 2025.
PLAY ON!!
