Basic skating skills for skaters aged 5 and upwards; a TeenSkate session for skaters age 11 and older is also available. Group lesson format, teaching CanSkate Stages 1 to 3. C.S.A. approved HOCKEY HELMETS are MANDATORY for all CanSkate Stages 1-6 skaters. Face visors are strongly recommended for CanSkate Stages 1-3.
Private lessons are available to skaters who wish to progress more quickly and/or would like to work on problem areas. Private lessons are offered during 10-minute sessions immediately before or after most CanSkate sessions, or during the first or last 10 minutes of a CanSkate session. Private lessons must be taken from one of the Club’s Professional Coaches, on a first come first served basis; parents may select their choice of Professional Coach (see list in the brochure) or have one assigned to their skater. The private lessons are completely flexible – weekly, once per month, or whatever suits your needs. The lessons are open to all levels of skaters, but are strongly recommended for skaters in Pre-StarSkate. Lessons must be reserved at least a week in advance and can be arranged at the ASC volunteer desk in the lobby. Please speak with an ASC volunteer for more details.
