The StarSkate program has a fresh new look on and off the ice…….

This program has been developed to focus on all 4 disciplines of figure skating with an option to take Skate Canada Assessments and compete if so desired… this includes freeskate, dance, skills, and artistic.  This program also offers off-ice group conditioning, and year end Show to further enhance a skater’s development and experience.

 

We have three programs: JUMPSTART (Intro), STARSKATE 1 & UP AND ADULTSKATE

 

JUMPSTART – SKATERS MUST HAVE PASSED MINIMUM OF 1 STAGE 3 BADGE, AND HAVE PERMISSION OF THE CLUB COACH.  HELMETS MANDATORY UNTIL COMPLETED STAGE 5

 

STARSKATE 1 & UP – FOR ALL SKATERS WANTING TO PURSUE THEIR FIGURE SKATING AND MUST HAVE COMPLETED THEIR CANSKATE BADGES AND UPON APPROVAL OF THE CLUB COACH
