PROGRAM INFORMATION

Our dynamic learn-to-skate and figure skating programs focus on fun, participation and skill development.

STAR Skate 1-5 - Group

Wednesdays - On-Ice training 5:00pm to 5:50pm + Off-Ice training 6:15pm to 7:15pm

Tuesdays - On-Ice training - 6:30pm to 7:20pm

The Group STAR Skate 1-5 program is a learn to train program that combines on-ice and off-ice sessions. STAR skaters have dedicated ice time on Wednesday evenings, and when registering for the Group STAR Skate 1-5 program, an hour of off-ice training is built into the registration fee.

50 minute on-ice sessions introduce skaters to the five disciplines of figure skating: Skills, Freeskate, Dance, Synchonized Skating, and Artistic. The program offers coach directed instruction in a group lesson format. Assessments guide development; nominal assessment costs apply. 

A 60 minute off-ice session is incorporated into Wednesday's registration fee and includes physical and mental training that complements on-ice disciplines. Off-ice training includes, but is not limited to:

• Off ice jump technique
• Goal setting
• Flexibility
• Nutrition, Hydration, Sleep

It is recommended that skaters interested in the Group STAR Skate program register for the Wednesday session. Since Skate Canada recommends that STAR skaters train on-ice at minimum 2 days per week, Tuesday sessions are available for skaters who want to increase their training frequency.

Tuesday sessions run along side our Pre-STAR Skate program and our Teen & Adult Skate program.

Placement in this program is at the coach's discretion.

This on-ice session is offered concurrently with our Group STAR Skate 1-5 program.
