Officials Training – Expression of Interest

Many thanks to all our wonderful members who have expressed interest in undertaking training as MV officials.  We had a good response and are now looking for a few more! 😊

We are lucky to have the grounds at OMCC and plan to use them to their full potential by running more events & competitions for everyone to enjoy. This is only possible with a well-trained team of officials, and we are now seeking expressions of interest to become a Level 2 official. 

The training pathway is pretty streamlined, there will be plenty of support from our resident expert, Steve Carter (thanks Steve 😊) it involves a Level 1, Operational Course which is then followed by shadowing an official and being signed off at one of our events. OMCC will be holding some club trials over May, June and July specifically designed to ease all the trainees through to Level 2 – exciting times, watch this space! 🎯

We aim to have twelve to eighteen more officials at the club within the next six months, please jump on board, it is a rewarding process which opens up opportunities for more competitions in Victoria and it supports your sport. 🫵🏻

Please register your interest to – [email protected]

Many thanks
