CanSkate

Canskate is Skate Canada’s official learn-to-skate program and has been designed to address the development of skating skills and elements in preparation for all ice sports. This program is a 45-minute session and is for skaters who are aged 3 and up (they MUST be potty trained) that can get up, skate forward and backward on their own. Skaters will be introduced to elements in three Fundamental areas; Agility, Balance, and Control. The elements to be taught and strengthened include forward skating, backward skating, stopping, turning, and jumping. Skaters are led by an NCCP Certified Professional Coach who is assisted by trained Program Assistants. Coach/Program Assistant to Skater ratio is 1:10. Registering for two days/week is recommended for faster skill acquisition (discount will be offered if registering for two days/week). 

*Designed for skaters aged 3 and up, however, if your child is between 3-6 and has never skated before, we recommend registering them in PreCanskate first. If skaters are 3-4 years old and they have passed the PreCanskate ribbon, but are not able to handle a full 45-minute Canskate session, we suggest registering them in another session of PreCanskate for them to get more comfortable on the ice.
