About the Role:
As the Competitions Manager, you'll be at the heart of our hockey community, responsible for planning, organising, and executing all competitions under Otago Hockey. You'll work closely with clubs, schools, and volunteers to create an environment where players of all levels can thrive. Your role will be crucial in maintaining the high standards that Otago Hockey is known for.
