PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE
Sport and recreation should always be
"athlete
centered", meaning the efforts of all involved should be foremost to
provide
the opportunity for the athlete to learn and have fun.
This
required an array of partners working together for the athlete.
Some
of the key partners working together to provide that opportunity to
your
skater and their respective roles are:

The Club
There are over 1400 clubs and 180,000 members of Skate Canada
The club is the vehicle through which
Skate
Canada programs are delivered to the skaters. With the exception
of coaches, the people who run the club are usually volunteers.
Become
acquainted with the executive committee at your club. These
people
can help answer many questions and concerns. Also, try to help
out
at your club. Clubs are always looking for bolunteers to help in
many aspects of the club's function.
