What do I need to know...
Welcome to Dobcross Village Page
We are looking forward to getting as many children and young people to join Dobcross in enjoying and taking part in the Saddleworth Olympics. We love how our village comes together in a sea of orange shirts and proudly do their best in the games. From the smallest individual village we have very talented children who will make us as proud as always. We would like to welcome our coaches, children and parents in this excellent community event.
Registration
-
All registrations are now done centrally through this website.
-
As it is an expensive event to run we are asking for a donation of £10 per child, if you are able. This goes towards event hire, sports equipment and much more.
-
Please follow the registration link here or from the link above.
Training
-
When you register you will be added to the WhatsApp community for Dobcross and you select the sports you are interested in.
-
Please be patient as this is not automatic, a volunteer needs to find time to add you.
-
If you wish to start training before you are added to a group, please just come along to training and let the coach know that you are newly registered.
-
As soon as it is ready our training schedule will be available via your coaches in the WhatsApp community.
-
Don’t worry if you can’t attend every training session, just do as many as you can however if we have to make a team selection then this will be selected from maximum training sessions attended.
-
If you no longer wish to do a sport please inform the coach so that we can keep up to date with our teams.
-
T-shirts can be purchased on the SVO website under the SHOP tab for £7, or at the Dobcross school summer fair. T-shirts are worn for training sessions as well as the Olympic events themselves. Any t-shirt collections you will be sent a notification and they can be collected from organisers address in Uppermill.
