PA duties include setting up equipment, demonstrating skills and providing supervision for practice times and games. Sherwood Parkdale Skating Club members in the STARSkate program, who are part of the PA Incentive Option, will provide a minimum number of required hours (as set by the Board and Coaching Staff at the start of the season) to be completed per season/program requirement which will be indicated to the PA participant by correspondence, as part of their membership. PAs who pick up extra approved shifts, may gain credits towards future registration via their account.
Sherwood Parkdale Skating Club is run by parent volunteers. During the season, parents/guardians may be approached to help out in some way – ie. assist during programming or special events, or on a more regular basis as a board member at large. Your support and assistance is critical to the success of the Club and your help is always appreciated. Our volunteer Board of Directors are subject to following the SPSC Club Constitution and By-Laws.
