More Information About CESA!
CESA is an all volunteer organization! We welcome parent and family volunteers! Parents who wish to volunteer on the ice must wear skates (no street shoes are allowed on the ice for safety reasons.)
We need volunteers to do the following:
- Help the with the "Tots Class"
- Help with the administrative / desk activities at lessons (this includes directing skaters and parents, taking registration information, etc.)
- Help with the ice show.
We welcome parent and family participation! Unlike other skating organizations, CESA permits parents, grandparents and siblings to skate (for a small $5.00 fee) during lesson and practice times. And, if there is sufficient room on the ice, we allow our skaters to stay on the ice, after their lessons and practice time have expired. This is a unique feature of our program!
All students, especially those at Gamma level and above are encouraged to stay on the ice after their lessons and help with the tots. We find that the older children really enjoy helping the younger students get adjusted. They also get the added benefit of the 1/2 hour of extra practice ice time while the Tots are in their lessons! This is something that is not available with any other skating program in the Twin Cities.
We strongly encourage parents and siblings to put on their skates and join us! This is one of the things that makes CESA a very special program!
