Skating Programs
Pre-CanSkate
Pre-CanSkate is the first step to building your child’s skating skills. In this session they will learn to move forward, stop, fall down safely and get back up.
This group program is non-parented and suitable for children ages 3-5 who have little to no skating experience.
CSA approved helmets are required and masks are encouraged, but not mandatory.
CanSkate (stages 1-6)
This program is for skaters who can get up and move on their own independently.
CSA approved helmets are required up to level 5 and masks are encouraged but not required.
Rising STARS
CSA approved helmets are required and masks are encouraged, but not mandatory.
STARSkate 1-2
STARSkate (Skills, Tests, Achievement and Recognition) is the next step after CanSkate or Rising Stars for skaters who have completed all Stage 6 requirements. Open to skaters of all ages, the program develops figure skating skills in dance, skills, free skate, artistic, and synchro through a team coaching approach. Skaters can participate in Skate Canada assessments and recreational or competitive events. Lessons are offered in private, semi-private, and group formats and are invoiced directly by coaches. Skate Canada recommends 2–4 on-ice sessions per week at this level.
STARSkate 3+
STAR 3–5 builds on the skills developed in STAR 1–2 and introduces more advanced figure skating elements that form the foundation for singles, pairs, ice dance, and synchronized skating.
Open to skaters of all ages, including adaptive skaters who meet the required skating level, the program provides opportunities to develop skills in freeskate, ice dance, artistic skating, synchronized skating, and skating skills through a team coaching approach.
Skaters receive coach-led instruction in private, semi-private, and group lesson formats to further develop strong skating fundamentals, including edges, stroking, turns, backward skating, and overall muscle memory. Lesson fees are invoiced directly by coaches.
According to Skate Canada guidelines, STAR 5 skaters typically train 45–60 minutes per session, 4–5 days per week, with a recommended 15-minute off-ice warm-up before skating.
