Employment Opportunities: McKinnon Cougars BigV Home Game Day Roles
McKinnon Basketball is seeking committed, community-minded individuals to join our Big V Game Day Team for the 2026 season. These roles play a vital part in delivering a professional, welcoming and high-quality experience for athletes, officials and supporters across all McKinnon Cougars BigV home games.
Applicants must be available across weekends from March to August.
These opportunities also serve as an excellent entry point into sports administration, offering hands-on experience in event operations, game day delivery, and the inner workings of a basketball Association.
GAME DAY MC Lead the atmosphere. Set the standard.
The Game Day MC is responsible for guiding the crowd through every moment of the matchday experience — from pre-game warm-up to introductions, announcements and post-game wrap-up.
Core responsibilities include:
Preparing notes and researching teams each week to deliver accurate, professional introductions and announcements
Supporting venue setup, audio testing, and ensuring warm-up music is operating 45 minutes before tip-off
Introducing teams, referees, and the National Anthem in line with Big V protocols
Providing clear, neutral, and rules-appropriate commentary for scoring, fouls, timeouts and other allowable moments
Using inclusive, respectful language at all times and representing the Association professionally
Ideal candidates will have a confident speaking voice, strong communication skills, a good understanding of basketball, and the ability to think quickly in a live environment. Experience in MC’ing, presenting or performance is beneficial but not essential.
GAME DAY COMMISSIONER Ensure professionalism. Oversee operations.
The Game Day Commissioner is responsible for the smooth operation of each Big V home game — coordinating staff, maintaining standards, and ensuring all pre-game, in-game and post-game requirements are met.

Overseeing the work of MC, statisticians, livestream crew and other staff
