_{Sledge Hockey Volunteers}

One of our more competitive and fastest growing programs is Sledge Hockey. PSA has been offering the Sledge Hockey program for 14 years. Sledge Hockey is an innovative team sport that incorporates the same rules and discipline structure as ‘stand up’ regular ice hockey. In Sledge Hockey players sit on specially designed sleds with skate blades under the seat and use two sticks, not only to pass, stick-handle and shoot the puck, but also to propel and maneuver their sleds down the ice. PSA has two sledge hockey teams, the Junior Division and the Intermediate Division.

The Junior sledge hockey division is where players can work on developing their skills. The Intermediate division is for more advanced players who are willing to play a more physical game. Players will have the opportunity to work in game situations as well as working on more advanced techniques of sledge hockey. The sledge hockey teams have an opportunity to compete again EMHA teams and other sledge hockey teams throughout the season.

Sledge Hockey Program Runs:
Tuesdays from 6:15 – 7:45 pm (Juniors) & 8:00 - 9:30 (Intermediates)
Donnan Arena (9104-80 Ave)
September 21 – December 14, 2010 and January 4 - March 29, 2011

 _{Swimming Volunteers}

PSA’s Swimming program has been working to improve the swimming skills of children with disabilities for a number of years. Our swimming program is specially designed to meet the varying needs of our members while providing small working groups and one-on-one assistance.
As a volunteer your job is to assist participants to improve their skills with the guidance of Certified Swimming Instructors working with the group to provide individualized instruction. Swimmers are further paired up with volunteers to offer one-on-one assistance (when possible) in addition to the instruction.

Swimming PROGRAM RUNS:
Novice: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Intermediate: 1:00 - 2:00 PM
At the Don Wheaton Family YMCA Pool  (10211 - 102 Ave)
September 18 – December 11, 2010 (excluding October 9 )
January 15 – March 26, 2011 
 

Great hands-on experience in working with children with disabilities in an activity setting! IT IS FUN!!!!

*NOTE: PSA conducts a thorough screening of all its volunteers to ensure the safety of its participants*.
