Including Pre-CanSkate, the CanSkate program is geared to beginners of all ages. Whether you are looking to improve basic skating skills for figure skating, hockey, or wish to skate for recreation, fitness or fun, CanSkate will get you there.
The CanSkate program (Stages 1-4) follows a series of balance, control and agility circuits, using a nationally-tested and proven curriculum that supports skater success in developing stronger basic skills on the ice.
PARTICIPANTS MUST WEAR A CSA APPROVED HELMET AT ALL TIMES ON THE ICE FOR PRE-CANSKATE AND CANSKATE PROGRAMS
Junior Star Academy
Jr. Star Academy is used to focus on the final stages of CanSkate including stages 5 and 6. This program teaches skaters the building blocks and basics of the sport of figure skating in a fun group atmosphere.
Skaters will have the opportunity to work on their own ice as well as along side our StarSkaters in their own group. This is a great way to transition into a more independent atmosphere.
CSA APPROVED HELMETS MUST BE WORN UNTIL FULL COMPLETION OF LEVEL 5, AND SUPPORTIVE FIGURE SKATES ARE REQUIRED.
Upon promotion of Junior Star Academy, StarSkate is a figure skating program that teaches individuals important skills in 4 main areas: Skills, Dance, Freeskate, and Artistic. The STAR program offers the best-in-class figure skating curriculum in Canada, targeting athletes looking for a future in the sport. Taught by Skate Canada NCCP coaches, the program introduces participants to the basic figure skating elements to create the foundation for singles, pairs, ice dance and synchronized skating.
Private and shared lessons are invoiced to the skaters family independently of the initial ice fees and insurance. Skaters need to be highly self-reliant and capable of working independently.
Grow their confidence
CanSkate is a great way to begin your child’s skating skills and increase their confidence on ice.
Learn to work together
Further skill development will strengthen an athletes connection with their peers and coaches. Our Star Skaters are expected to grow in leadership while they help coach our younger Can Skate crew!
