Our Pre-Star program is for skaters who demonstrate a strong aptitude for figure skating and want to progress in the sport.  

 

Our Pre-Star session includes a 10-minute stroking session and a group lesson where skaters have the opportunity to complete CanSkate Stage 5/6 and/or begin working on Star 1. 

​

The lessons are taught in a group format in a progressive and sequential manner.  

 

Skaters will also participate in a 45 minute "off ice" group training session on Saturday along with on ice sessions. Off ice training will be run by one of our Coaches and provides the ability for Skaters to warmup and stretch, work on balance and strength  and practice free skate skills. 

Off-ice training is a significant factor for figure skaters as it can greatly enhance their performance and assist them in achieving their objectives all the way up to the more complex jumps. Off-ice training can also help with mental focus, essential for mastering those jumps and spins.

 

When skaters regularly engage in off-ice training, it builds mental toughness that helps them push through challenges and stay focused during practice and competition. Off-ice training is also necessary for figure skaters who want to stay injury-free, physically fit, and mentally sharp.

​

Please note that Pre-Star registration includes 2 skating sessions per week: Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings in Erin.  The cost of this program includes both ice times and an additional 45 mins of off ice group training with the Coach on Saturdays.
