Dear SCOTIA XC Members,
The temperatures this week make it hard to believe that we will be thinking about skiing soon! But it won’t be long until XC skiing will be top of mind.The club is always turning over volunteers and as you know we are able to keep our membership rates low based on these services provided by our volunteers. This year we need to see some new faces to keep things rolling along smoothly.Here are the volunteer spots we need filled for the upcoming season. Many of these jobs are behind the scenes work, many of these have a direct impact on introducing new skiers to our sport and all of them give back to the club in a very tangible way!!!
YOUTH BUNNIES COACHES
- ages 4-5 years
- extensive ski knowledge not required
- lesson happen at the same time as the older groups who have experienced coaches to lean on
- data bank of lessons/games idea
- online coach development required and paid for by CCNS
- we currently have 0 coaches for this program for the upcoming season and may not be able to offer it
YOUTH COACHES
- we are always looking to add to our youth coaching team.
- CCNS funds training.
- Great to get involved while we have experienced coaches available.
YOUTH PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR
- behind the scenes role, current co-ordinator moving on after this year
- requires communicating with coaches and families in programs on a weekly basis durning the 8 week lesson block.
ADULT INSTRUCTORS
- would love to have more instructors available to provide “pop-up” group lessons when snow is available.
- could also use another instructor to join our 2 seasoned instructors for the adult Learn to Skate class or to Provide a Classic Class for new skiers.
SOCIAL SKI HOSTS
- now that we have our locations all up and running we would love to see the “club” aspect strengthened.
- looking for volunteers to be on a list to who are willing to “host” a group ski when conditions are favourable.
WEBSITE HELP
- improve our SEO
- website currently does not appear high/at all in Google searches, behind the scenes work to improve that
GROOMERS
- looking for groomers at all of our locations
- being a groomer does not require a commitment of being available to groom every snow fall. The more groomers we have the easier the role of groomer becomes. Training provided.
If you are able to help with any of these roles please reach out and I can provide lots more details.
We are trying to keep our costs low but are certainly headed towards the possibility of some of these roles becoming contract positions which will definitely increase membership rates.
