CANSKATE
Learn-to-skate program for all skaters. Whether this will lead you into hockey or figure skating, it is a program for anyone wanting to learn to basic skills (forward, backward, stop, turn).
Pre-CanSkate - for young skaters who have limited, if any, experience on skates and who are at least 3 years old.
CanSkate - for skaters who have completed Pre-CanSkate or who are at least 6 years old.
STARSKATE
STAR A (formerly 'INTERMEDIATE') - For skaters at the Star 1-3 level, who are taking private lessons and are ready for individual practice. These skaters work on the different disciplines offered in Starskate including Skills, Freeskate and Dance. All Star A skaters will get 15-30 minutes of group time every session by a club coach.
SYNCHROSKATE (with Team Unity)
Synchronized skating, or "synchro" is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music, while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Skate Canada’s SynchroSkate program includes a number of Synchronized Skating categories which accommodate skaters at any age and skill level.
We have both adult and youth teams skating under the Team Unity name:
- Star 4 Beginner
- Star 4 Pre Juvenile
- Juvenile
- Intermediate
- Adult 1
- Adult 2
- Adult 3
Our youth teams practice on Thursday evenings, with the exception of the Juvie and Intermediate team which practice Sunday evenings in Stratford at the Rotary Complex.
