CANSKATE 5+

CanSkate (5+) is "First Steps" to our "Learn to Skate" program, designed for beginners of all ages. When you sign up for CanSkate you will be in a program that focuses on fun, participation, and basic skill development. Your skater will earn badges and other incentives as he/she learns the fundamental skating skills. Lessons are in a group format and led by a CanSkate Certified Professional Coach. Professional Coaches are assisted by trained Program Assistants (PA's). The Coach/student ratio is 1:10. Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active using teaching aids, music and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment and promote learning. CanSkate is the feeder program to all other Skate Canada Skating Programs.

If your skater is between 5-7 years old, and is brand new to skating, please register into our CanSkate (3-5) program!

Schedule is LIVE!

Recommended amount of skating days:

1-2 days a week!
