QUICKSTART

This is a 30 minute introductory program offered twice a week for 3 to 5 year old children. Skaters work on simple skating skills. The focus is on balance and having fun. Helmets are mandatory on this session.

 

CANSKATE

This is a 60 minute program, offered twice weekly for children with beginning skating skills. The purpose of the CANSKATE program is to teach the basics of skating.

There are six fundamental movements: go forward, go backward, stop, turn, spin and jump. For each movement there are seven stages of learning: balance, glide forward, glide backward, edges, power, speed, pre-preliminary (optional). This is a flexible, simple program in which the skater’s progress flows from skill to skill and stage to stage.

It is based on group instruction provided by certified coaches aided by volunteer program assistants.

CANPOWER SKATE

Canpower Skate is a certified instructional program that teaches power skating techniques to hockey and ringette players. Skaters develop balance, power and endurance. This is not a learn to skate program. Participants must have basic skating skills: skate forward, backward and stop.

STARSKATE SKATE

Each year we review the criteria for placement of our skaters in the StarSkate program, weighing the needs of our skaters, the membership numbers and the amount of resources available to our club. The following criteria has been used for this year's guideline. The club reserves the right to adjust the levels as required.

JUNIOR: Skaters who have completed as a minimum, the Canskate Stage 5 badge. Juniors will be working on the tests that Skate Canada has included in the Low Test grouping

INTERMEDIATE: Skaters who have passed two of the three Preliminary test disciplines, dances, skating skills or freeskate tests.

SENIOR: Skaters who are working on their Junior Silver to Gold Tests which comprise the High Test grouping.
