Skills, Tests, Achievement, Recognition – this is what STARSkate is all about!
STARSkate offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive and sequential manner and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system. Skaters who have mastered figure skating skills in STARSkate may also choose to pursue synchronized skating or pairs skating.
HOME CLUB SKATERS
The placement of all skaters on each session is ultimately at the discretion of the Head Coach of the Sackville Skating Club. Skaters requesting to skate on sessions for which they do not qualify must submit a request in writing to admin@sackvilleskatingclub.com prior to the start of the session. Our main goal is to have safe, active and productive sessions for all skaters and therefore skaters may need to be moved to another session to ensure this goal is met.
The number of sessions cannot be guaranteed due to unforeseeable circumstances. Cancellations will be posted on the club’s Facebook page.
Session dates and times are tentative and subject to change. Sessions with low enrollment may be altered and/or cancelled.
As e-mail is our main method of communication, please be sure to provide an address you check frequently.
All skaters in the Star & Elite programs must hire a professional coach.
All skaters and coaches will be given a copy of the ice rules and regulations prior to the first day. Failure to comply with the rules and regulations listed could result in removal from the session.
All Professional Coaches must submit their Skate Canada Registration to admin@sackvilleskatingclub.com prior to coaching on the ice, including guest coaches and dance partners, for approval. All coaches will be required to sign a non-home club coach contract prior to their first session.
All skaters, coaches, volunteers, and parents must abide by Skate Canada’s Code of Ethics at all times.
