Volunteer Policy
As you can appreciate, the Calgary Synchronized Skating Club (CSSC) is dependent on a strong volunteer commitment to support the success of our club and our skaters. The CSSC requires each skater (or a designate) or parent, if skater is under the age of 18, to agree to make two mandatory volunteer commitments during the year (support skaters are excluded from this requirement). Volunteer requirements for families with greater than 2 skaters will be capped at 2 skaters. The first two commitments below are fundraisers for the club. No refunds or credits will be issued until the volunteer commitment is fulfilled or the financial alternative is paid in lieu of the personal time commitment. A penalty of $500 will be assessed to the skater’s account if they are unable to fulfill the volunteer commitments outlined above and below.
- The 2024 Casino (July 19-20, 2024) - CSSC requires that every skater provide a worker(s), being the skater and/or their designate (minor skaters require a designate) to work one shift during the Casino. Preference will be given to the Elite 12 and Novice team.
OR - The 2024 RoseBowl Competition (Dec 14, 2024) - CSSC requires that every skater provide a worker(s), being the skater and/or their designate, to work one shift during the 2024 RoseBowl Competition.
AND - Skaters or designate(s) must volunteer for at least one job in a club position or through team duties. Skaters are encouraged to volunteer, but their families are welcome to be involved too. You can select a club volunteer role that interests you via the website or you can select a team volunteer role through your coach/managers. Note, we will try and accommodate requests for volunteer roles but there are no guarantees you will receive the volunteer role you request.
A volunteer bond is applied to skaters who did not complete their volunteer commitment the previous session. The bond is $150 (beginner, elementary, juvenile) and $250 for all other teams. The bond cheque will be provided to the club secretary and returned at the end of the season if volunteer commitment has been completed.
