Volunteer Officiating
Tournaments and games rely on the volunteer power of athletes’ family members. Referees officiate the games, with volunteers performing auxiliary tasks including jobs like Shot Clock Operator, Game Secretary and Penalty Secretary.
These roles are not overly complicated and there is a Supervisor to help everyone out. To support minor officiating volunteers, Alberta Water Polo has prepared training videos for all officiating positions. These tutorials can be found at https://www.albertawaterpolo.ca/content/minor-officials.
After you have familiarize yourself with each officiating position, please register as a volunteer through RAMP and select the positions you have completed training for.
