Program Structure
Pre-CanSkate is a learn to skate program designed for skaters 3 to 5 years of age that have never skated before or have little skating experience.
The CanSkate program is for skaters 5 years and older and the curriculum is organized into three Fundamental Areas, divided into six stages of learning. The session is divided into groups based on each child’s skating ability. There are skaters who are brand new to the program as well as skaters who are at more advanced levels, so skaters are placed in the group that best matches their skills.
The Fundamental Areas are:
AGILITY: Concentrating on most turning and jumping skills
BALANCE: Concentrating on most forward skills, pushing technique and edges.
CONTROL: Concentrating on most backwards skills, stopping and speed elements.
These are the ABC’s of the CanSkate Program.
The awards consist of:
Three Fundamental Area ribbons for each Stage
Six Stage Badges
