The team at Australian Oztag are on the lookout for more Ground Officials to work at our 2020 tournaments, which include the NSW State Cups and the Australian Championships (Juniors & Seniors).
This job requires someone who has the ability to stand and walk for long periods of time. The Ground Officials role at the tournament is to ensure the smooth running of the matches on the ground they are allocated. This is done by ensuring a referee is present for the match, monitoring spectator and team behavior & supervising the interchange box and the interchange of players.
We are looking for individuals who know the game of Oztag and who can display professionalism whilst on the job. Remuneration is $25 per hour and if you’re travelling to Coffs Harbour, accommodation will be provided.
If you’d like to apply for a Ground Official position, please click here.

Recently retired Sydney Swans co-captain, Kieren Jack is still carving up on the footy field but this time, on an Oztag field!
Kieren Jack played 256 professional AFL games over 13 seasons for the Swans, after being recruited to the club in the 2005 rookie draft.
Jack has since signed on to play in the North Sydney Oztag competition in Naremburn, with his mates Fear the Deer. In his first season with the team, they toppled last year’s champions last night, the Grubbers in a one point thriller!
Fear the Deer have been playing for a number of years, have always been in the top four but have never managed to take home the silverware. With the masterstroke recruitment of Jack, their names will now be etched in history as the 2019 North Sydney summer competition men’s champions!
If any former professional athletes play in your Oztag competition, let us know. Email in via phil@oztag.com.au

Less than 12 months after claiming the lion’s share of titles at the 2018 Tag World Cup, Australia has continued it’s dominance of the international Oztag scene with an impressive performance at the International Invitational Challenge in Sydney.
The green and gold claimed 17 of the 18 divisions when the event was eventually run after being initially postponed due to wet weather earlier this year.
Pacific Islands ensured the home nation didn’t claim a clean sweep, winning the Mixed Seniors division.
While the Australian’s finished the day strongly, they didn’t have things all their own way at Heffron Park in Maroubra.
Lebanon defeated Australia 5-4 in the Men’s 30s earlier in the day before the Australians struck back in the final match.
In the Men’s 18s, an Australian U17s development side also upset the Australian U18s side in the pool rounds.
While the Australian team missed out on claiming the title in the Mixed Seniors division after falling to a Penrith representative side 6-3 and drawing to the Pacific Islands.
International sides will now turn one eye towards the 2021 Tag World Cup, which heads to the Northern Hemisphere for the very first time and will be held in Limerick in Ireland in August 2021.
