Kids
Canskate
Teaching young children to skate the right way inspires self-confidence. The Kidskate program offers basic
movement
on ice for our beginners in skating. The course design has a strong element of play built in to
encourage and capture
the attention of this age group. The emphasis is on FUN.
Canskate
Canskate is a fun and safe program for children who have completed Kids Canskate or who are able to skate
on their own.
It incorporates the use of music, skill development, and games in a somewhat more structured
format than Kidskate.
Canskate is a recognized Skate Canada program that teaches the fundamentals of skating
which include forward skating,
backward skating, stopping, turning, spinning, jumping and the four basic edges.
The skills are arranged in a progressive
teaching sequence and are divided into seven badges
(Stages 1-7 of the Skate Canada Program).
