PreCan & CanSkate

PreCan: Our PreCan program is geared towards skaters taking their first or early on steps onto the ice! PreCan teaches basics such as: marching on the spot, standing up, moving forward, moving backward, etc. PreCan is for skaters ages 3+ who have not participated in prior skating programming. PreCan is a 25 minute session and is run out of the lobby end of our ice to allow for more time to focus on fundamental skills in a controlled and supervised setting. PreCan is taught by NCCP certified coaches with the assistance of volunteer Program Assistants.

 

CanSkate: Our CanSkate program follows skaters after they successfully pass the PreCan programming and continues on the skills they develop using stations in: Balance, Control and Agility. CanSkate programming is structured with warm-up, lesson time, a group activity, and a cool down. CanSkate is coached by NCCP certified coaches with the assistance of volunteer Program Assistants. CanSkate is for skaters age 3+ who have already established entry level skating skills (they can stand up, and move around the ice without assistance). Our CanSkate programming typically covers Stages 1-4.

 

*If a skater successfully completes PreCan mid-season, the Board of Directors and/or Coach Coordinator will reach out to offer for the skater to move up to our CanSkate program if space is available

*If a skater successfully completes CanSkate mid-season, the Board of Directors and/or Coach Coordinator will reach out to offer for the skater to move up to our PreSTAR program if space is available

PreSTAR

PreSTAR is the bridge between our CanSkate program and our STARSkate program. That said, it still provides curriculum geared towards skaters pursuing other on-ice sports (such as ringette or hockey). PreSTAR is for skaters who have successfully completed all of Stage 3 of CanSkate. PreSTAR covers Stage 4-6 of the CanSkate programming. It follows a structure similar to CanSkate with: warm-up, lessons, group activity and cool down. Stations include: Balance, Control and Agility. Lessons are taught by NCCP certified coaches with the assistance of volunteer Program Assistants.
