How will it work?

Step One: Promoting and explanation

  • CDSFA Clubs will nominate GL Coordinators. EOI available (above).

Step Two: Preparation of the program

  • CDSFA (AM) will run and coordinate with Club support/assistance and build a group of GL & instructors/Mentors approved by the CDSFA/FA.

  • Hub coordinator applications will be sent via CDSFA, through the EOI, or directly via clubs.

Step Three: Delivering the program

  • GL register through the EOI (above link) 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 are applicable to receive payment. Home team pays 100% of the GL fee.
  • Additional Information:
    • U8/U9 $15 recommended per game
    • U10/11 $25 recommended per game
    • mentors $30 per hour

(Note: Some hubs have an alternate price guide, less than above, this is the payment structure for that hub).

Step Four: Ongoing

  • GL monitored by Coordinators / mentors and feedback supplied to GL’s and CDSFA, on a weekly game basis or as required.

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 and seen as volunteers, but again this is an individual club decision, as some pay honorariums etc to these individuals.
  • Hub Placements ex CRA or 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/CRA prior to the weekly roster being issued. “On the day “ issues dealt with Hub supervisor.
  • Allocated via CRA or hubs pending on club requirement.

How Do I Setup for a GL Course?:

Nominate a field and time that can accommodate:

1. Field Space (size of a tennis court)

2. Ongoing 7 v 7 games that the trainee GL’s can officiate. Best practice would be 1x full size field (divided into 4x 7v7 games) so that the GL Mentor, can monitor up to four games simultaneously. Hence vetting 8 x GL’s.

3. A GL instructor (ex CDSFA) and mentors (or Trainee Mentors).

4. Note that if you have one field and 30 GL candidates you will need to schedule the games and their specific involvement to cater for numbers, potentially over several weeks.
 

GL Mentor Responsibilities:

  •        Gentle oversight of GL's
  •        Continued Q&A at half time or at end of games, building a rapport and understanding.
  •        Being contactable/accessible should any issues arise.
