What to Expect

Lessons are provided in a group format with a maximum coach-to-student ratio of 1:10. Skaters will follow on-ice circuits to develop their balance, agility, and control in accordance with the Skate Canada badge recognition system*. Skaters progress will be updated through their online account and badges and ribbons will be given to skaters as they earn them through the course of the session.

​

Parents may inquire with the session coordinator about arranging private lessons before the session begins for additional practice time.
