CanSkate Program

CanSkate is a program for beginning skaters of all ages and is tailored to each user group (e.g., pre-school, youth, adult). Participants earn badges while they learn fundamental skating skills. CanSkate is the feeder program to all other Skate Canada skating programs and many hockey leagues.

Participants are taught in a group lesson format by an NCCP certified professional coach, assisted by trained program assistants (test or competitive program skaters). One of the key delivery standards of the CanSkate program is to ensure that participants are moving 90% of their time on the ice.

Benefits of Participating in CanSkate

 

CanSkate is Canada's only national learn to skate program. It was developed by experts to teach the fundamentals of skating in a progressive and sequential manner. The coach-to-student ratio is a maximum of 1:10. Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active using tools that create a fun environment and promote learning. When you join a Skate Canada club, you also become a member of Skate Canada, the governing body for figure skating in Canada.

Junior Academy

Junior Academy is an introductory figure skating program for children 11 years of age and under and is for skaters who demonstrate an eagerness to start figure skating. Team coaching, jumps, spins, theatre on ice, fun games and prizes are all in part of the Jr. Academy program. Junior Academy is the next stage of development for skaters with enhanced ability to pursue test/competitive skating. The program introduces skaters to foundations of the sport of figure skating through two 45 minute classes per week. Skaters register for the CanSkate sessions on Wednesday and Saturday. For more information, please contact the Director of Skating.
