LBA has an Initiative that everybody should become a
ROC, this currently includes the following roles –
Referee, Table
Official,
Coach and Media Crew Member at a Sports Event. With this said we are investing in the people within our competitions, by pledging to work with the schools by giving access to online accredited courses which are nationally recognised (subject to resources). This helps us achieve a competition which is self-sufficient where possible, this will save cost and grow the league, plus our young people will gain a more enriched experience
