PreCanSkate

This program is a half-hour group lesson designed for children aged 3 - 5 who have NO or very little skating ability. PreCanSkate is the starting point where skaters learn the basic fundamentals of skating which provides them the skills required to advance to the CanSkate program. Basic skills such as skating forward, backwards, turning, jumping and stopping will be taught.

​

Skaters are grouped according to age and/or ability. Age appropriate toys, other props and visual aids may be used during the lessons. Circuits, games and other activities are performed on ice which assists skaters in learning, developing and perfecting basic skills while also having fun.

 

Skaters who master their Pre-CanSkate skills will advance to the CanSkate 1-6 program.
