To register as a Game Leader, contact your LOCAL CLUB (click here to find your club) and they will guide you on how to sign up as a Game Leader with them. You will need to register as a Volunteer with the Club.
MiniRoo Rules: See bottom of page (updated rules for 2025 will be published and issued to clubs once ratified in March 2025).
How will it work?
Step One: Promoting and explanation
- FC Clubs will nominate GL Hub Administrators and send through to FC.
Step Two: Preparation of the program
-
FC will run and coordinate with Club support/assistance and build a group of GL & instructors/Mentors approved by the FC / FA. See events page on this website for updated Venues and dates.
-
Hub coordinator applications will be sent via FC, or directly via clubs.
Step Three: Delivering the program
- GL register through their club (prerferable) and on DRIBL as a GL, and nominate which hub they would wish to work out of.
- Appointments will be managed by Hubs/ DRIBL management system / pending on location and coordinators of venues. GL payments from the clubs (as currently operating, with clubs deciding on best practice for them EFT vs Cash). Only accredited GL should be receiving a payment (but that is at the discretion of each Hub). Hub team pays 100% of the GL fee.
- Additional Information:
- U8/U9 $15 recommended per game
- U10/11/12 $25 recommended per game
- mentors $30 per hour
(Note: Some hubs have an alternate price guide, less than above, this is the recomended payment structure for hubs).
Step Four: Ongoing
- GL monitored by Coordinators / mentors and feedback supplied to GL’s and FC, on a weekly game basis or as required via Dribl.
What do we need now?
Club Requirements:
- GL‘s, GL mentors at hubs, HUB Supervisor/Trainers, payment structure. Game day supervisor (currently orange Vest official).
- Mentors and Field Officials are seen as volunteers, but again this is an individual club decision, as some pay honorariums etc to these individuals.
- Hub Placements ex HUB Supervisor.
Allocation of Game Leaders:
- GL’s availability will be assumed “available” on any given weekend. (currently this is in reverse with GL nominating their avails through Dribl.
- Should a GL be unavailable they are to contact the Hub Coordinator prior to the weekly roster being issued. “On the day “ issues dealt with Hub supervisor.
- Allocated via hubs pending on club requirement.
