PreStar
 |
PreStar is a program designed for skaters who wish to pursue figure skating. The PreStar Program is a stepping stone between our Learn to Skate programs and the StarSkate figure skating program. PreStar will focus on edges, spins, jumps, and stroking through small group instruction on the ice, as well as learn more advanced skills specific to figure skating and the StarSkate program. This program is suitable for any skater who has an interest in figure skating, and figure skates are required to participate. |
PreStar classes are delivered in small groups, rotating through a team of our certified professional skating coaches. The groups will be based on level and age. There will also be an off ice class held either before or after the on ice session. The off ice portion of the class is equally as important as on ice training, and skaters are expected to attend.
For best results and progression, we highly recommend that PreStar participants skate at least 2 times per week and attend the off ice portion of the class. We offer PreStar sessions three times per week. Please refer to our schedule for class times for more information about this program.
PreStar skaters are also invited to attend our various events throughout the season, such as the Rising Star Events, Winter Gala, Family Fun Skate and Spring Ice Show. These events are part of the program and included in registration fees.
The Skating Director will notify parents/guardians once the skater is ready to advance to the StarSkate program.
Figure skates are required for this program – we recommend visiting United Sport and Cycle for high quality new and used figure skates with a knowledgeable staff in the area of figure skating
This program has volunteer requirements.
