PRESCHOOL CANSKATE
A preschool learn-to-skate program for children 3-5 years, focusing on fun and continuous movement. Small
groups with a Professional Coach and Program Assistants. CSA approved hockey helmets are mandatory.
Children move into Canskate on completion of the preschool program.
CANSKATE: For 5 to 12 year olds who have not passed Stage 6 of CanSkate &/or 3 & 4 year olds who can already skate. CanSkate skills are divided into stages. Skaters are placed into groups according to the stage they are working on. Group lessons are provided by fully qualified professional coaches. The convenor of the session will be able to provide a list of coaches who are available for private lessons if parents wish additional instruction for their skater. Skills are assessed on a daily basis and badges are awarded when all the skills at a particular stage have been achieved. Skaters in stages 1 to 3 must wear helmets. All levels of CanSkate will receive synchronized skating instruction on their session, once per month.
CANSKATE FOR OLDER BEGINNERS: Older children and teenagers, who are beginning skaters, will find we have a group for them on some of our sessions. The stages and coaching are the same as the regular CanSkate (above).
