Two ways to serve

Pick the role that fits you

Referee

Black belts who help keep the matches safe and fun. You'll score the rings and cheer the kids on — a friendly, local event, not a national trial. Never judged before? No problem, we'll show you everything you need.

  • Black belts only
  • Quick training before the event — no prior experience needed
  • Experienced masters right there to help if you have a question

Volunteer

Students, parents and instructors who make the day run — check-in, staging athletes, running medals to the podium, and cheering every single competitor. No experience needed, just energy.

  • Open to students, parents and instructors
  • Roles to match your day: check-in, staging, awards, floor crew
  • Full training on the morning of the event

What you get

More than a free shirt

Of course there are the practical thank-yous. But the real reward is what you take home in skills, memories and confidence.

Official event shirt & badge

Your own championship shirt and credential — yours to keep as proof you were part of it.

Meals & snacks all day

Breakfast, lunch and drinks are covered from check-in to the final medal.

Referee training

Learn how to score a ring in one relaxed session — with experienced masters helping you as you go.

Focus under pressure

Making clear, fair calls in seconds builds calm judgment you carry into every part of life.

Leadership & confidence

Directing athletes, coaches and parents sharpens how you communicate and lead.

Behind-the-scenes experience

See how a championship really runs — staging, brackets, scoring, awards — from the inside.

A team that feels like family

Work side by side with masters, parents and students from schools across the region.

Be the reason a kid's day is made

For many athletes at an invitational, this is the biggest stage they've ever stepped on. The referee who calms their nerves, the volunteer who walks them to staging, the person who hangs the medal around their neck — that's you. You won't be watching the championship. You'll be the championship.

One day. One team. Memories that last far longer.
