Pre-CanSkate

A 30-minute program designed for children ages 3-5 who have no or very little skating ability. Pre-CanSkate is the starting point where skaters advance to the CanSkate program. Basic skills such as skating forward, backwards, turning, jumping and stopping will be taught while promoting fun and continuous movement. A professional coach for each small group will be on the ice during the entire session. Age appropriate toys, other props and visual aids will be used during lessons. Circuits will be drawn on the ice for skaters to learn and practice their skills. Assessment is on an ongoing basis, allowing skaters to progress at their own pace. Skaters who master their Pre-CanSkate skills will advance to the CanSkate program.

On-ice parent assistance is optional. Should you wish to accompany your child on the ice, please email the club to be registered as a Skate Canada member.
