It is free. It will be run from 3.30-4.30, probably on a Wednesday afternoon. It is open to males and females and students will be equipped with the skills to begin umpiring (central and boundary) in the RDFL and get paid for it. You need to register with Mr. Darcy asap.

Western Bulldogs Leadership Project

Melton SC has participated in this project every year since its inception 4 years ago. Last year we had 3 participants.

Due to the popularity of The Western Bulldogs Leadership Project, candidates must apply to participate by completing an online nomination form.

Click here to nominate for The Western Bulldogs Leadership Project

Nominations open Monday 30th January and close Friday 3rd March 2017.

Nominations can be completed via two avenues;

1. Self - completed by a prospective participant or

2. Adult - a referral from a parent, school teacher, coach etc

All applicants will be notified regarding the outcome of their nomination in mid-March.

Males and females in years 9 or 10 who live within the six participating councils (Brimbank, Glenelg, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton and Moonee Valley) are eligible to participate.

Candidates need not excel athletically or even play sport to be considered. We are looking for self-motivated young people who have the potential to become future community leaders.

A commitment to attending 80% of workshops between April and September is also required.

10 participants will be selected from each council based on the strength and detail of their applications.

Let Mr. Darcy know if you nominate or want to get him to do the nomination.
