Reminder to Parents
Parents are responsible for their children while they are attending the skating programs. If you must leave the arena, please designate another adult to be responsible for your child and notify the Session Coordinator should this need arise.
Coaches are unable to leave the session to attend washroom needs, tighten skates, etc.
Parents are not allowed on the ice.
Also please note, the first few weeks of CanSkate are assessment weeks to make sure skaters are in their appropriate groups. Following that skaters will be assessed on a regular basis.

New StarSkate Program
This fall marks the soft-launch for the new STAR 1-5 program that replaces the Preliminary and Junior Bronze levels of StarSkate.
The STAR 1-5 program is designed to target an athletes 'window of trainability' they go through as they mature; in particular, Skill Development (8-12) and Flexibility (6-10).
This is considered the "golden age of learning" and is paramount for optimum skill development.
This new program creates a better bridge between CanSkate to Figure Skating, it introduces more complex skills earlier, has a strong focus on quality basics, and removes barriers for progression.
The assessment in the STAR 1-5 program will be performed by the coach who is teaching the skater the discipline that is being assessed.
Coaches will be introducing this new program to their skaters and getting ready for the hard launch in the fall of 2017.
