Pre-STARSkate for 5-8 years old

Pre-STARSkate is a figure skating program offered in conjunction with the CanSkate program. Skaters at the CanSkate Stage 4 level are eligible for this program. Lessons are conducted in a group format, led by an NCCP-certified professional coach. Trained Program Assistants assist professional coaches.

Skaters who should consider this program are interested in going into the Skate Canada STARSkate or Podium Pathway program.

• This program introduces skaters to the basic skills needed for the STARSkate or Podium Pathway program.
• Skaters will be encouraged to practice their skills independently, a crucial aspect of the STARSkate program.
• After completing this program, they are ready to move to the large ice surface, retain an NCCP-certified professional coach, and participate in private instruction.
• Skaters may only attend this program for a maximum of 2 years.
• Skaters must receive an invitation from a coach before registering.
• New to the club and think this is the correct program? Contact coach Sonya before registering. 
• The skater will receive a registration code from Sonya to complete the registration process.
• Professional figure skates are required.
• Must be 5 - 8 years old.

Pre-STARSkate for 9-15 years old

This program will provide additional instruction to skaters who want to improve their figure skating skills but do not wish to advance to the next level (STARSkate).

• Professional figure skates are required.
• Must be 9 - 15 years old.
• This is not a learn-to-skate program, and the focus will be on figure skating.
• New to the club and think this is the correct program? Contact coach Sonya before registering.
• The skater will receive a registration code from Sonya to complete the registration process.

If you are new to this program, here is what you will need to get on the ice: 

A warm sweater or fleece coat, and a vest, if you have one.  Leggings or maybe even sweatpants. Mittens are required.  Anything that is a bit more form-fitting but still warm.  Whatever you wore for CanSkate (minus any snow pants) would work to get started.  The coaches will help guide you :)
