Join the WFTDA Sanctioning Committee - Volunteer Opportunities!

Hey all! The Sanctioning Committee is looking for a few more worker bees to help keep derby moving!

We are looking for at least one of each of these roles:

Game Sanctioning Processor

Review game sanctioning paperwork submitted by teams to ensure they are filled out correctly and completely, validate insurance info, and perform other checks to ensure they meet WFTDA sanctioning guidelines and requirements.

Tournament Sanctioning Processor

Review tournament sanctioning paperwork submitted by teams to ensure they are filled out correctly and completely, validate insurance info, and perform other checks to ensure they meet WFTDA sanctioning guidelines and requirements. This role is a bit more involved than game sanctioning as involves multiples teams/leagues per event.

These roles aren’t super glamorous, but they are crucial behind-the-scenes roles that directly support leagues and teams across the WFTDA community. They are also super easy to do online, and very flexible - work at 3PM or 3AM your time, whatever works. We’re asking for a commitment of 1 hour per week, with some flexibility for 2-3 hours per week during busy derby months.

We will fully train any incoming volunteers - the processes are pretty straightforward, and we have written documentation you can refer to along the way. We have a Google chat set up we use for communication/questions. It’s a fun environment and a great way to get behind-the-scenes insight into how WFTDA sanctioning works!

We’re looking for detail-oriented individuals who can review documents carefully, reliable volunteers who can commit to regular weekly work (at least one-two hours per week on average), and people passionate about supporting the derby community.

If you’re interested, please email smash@wftda.com to apply/learn more.
