Junior Figure Skating

 
Who is it for?
Skaters just completing the CanSkate program who are interested in developing their figure skating skills.

What is it?
It is a transition program to guide skaters from CanSkate which is 100% coach-directed, to StarSkate where skaters get a bit of independence.

What supplies are needed?
Junior skaters must have figure skates that have an entry level figure skating boot. SportChek carries a Jackson skate that would be just fine. No molded plastic skates. Skaters also need a helmet. Once the coach deems the skater ready, and mom and dad are fine with it, off comes the helmet!

What are the sessions like?
Junior skaters learn in a small group environment from professional skating coaches. They work on the base skills of figure skating like stroking and edgework, one-foot spins, sit spins and foundational jumps like waltz jumps and toe loops. When a skater is deemed ready, and interested, they will be invited into our Intermediate figure skating program.

How do skaters qualify for Junior StarSkate?
At a minimum, completion of Canskate stage 6 or at the recommendation of our Club's full-time NCCP Certified Coach, Annette Hiltz.
