As we are a not-for-profit club, we depend completely on volunteers to keep things going. Thankfully, many committed volunteers help us, and without them, our club wouldn’t run! Just remember, more help means the work is easier. So, pause for a moment and consider if you can take up any of the open volunteer roles. Volunteering is a great way to meet our wonderful people in the Tigers community.
Volunteer Positions for each team include:
+ Coach and Assistant Coach (NRL MySideline Course to be completed & further face to face training needs to be completed at RLMD – courses offered throughout the season)
+ Manager ( Mysideline course to be completed )
+ Leaguesafe Trainer(s) (water runner) wearing a yellow shirt (NRL MySideline Course to be completed)

Leaguesafe and FAOs are required to wear specific shirts when on field during a game. Each Leaguesafe & FAO that are registered to a team will receive the correct shirt from the club. Please communicate with your team manager and have yourself registered to the team.
Manager Information
Our managers are the glue that hold it all together. They are the link between the committee and the coaches to our players and parents. Their role is to ensure all paperwork is up to date, notifying players and parents of game times and venues, submitting team lists before games as well as many other tasks that ensure our teams run efficiently.
Referees
Our game relies on referees, and it’s also a good opportunity to make some extra money. Accreditation is available to anyone who is 13 years old or above and it involves two steps (online courses and an in-person workshop). The club helps with some of the costs for getting referee accreditation. If you want more details, please check out MDRLRA.
