The Skate Canada Starskate Program offers skaters an opportunity to take optional tests in free skating, ice dancing, Skating Skills and artistic skating. These tests challenge a skater to learn and develop more advanced figure skating skills. Test skaters work independently and with group and/or private coaches to attain certificates from Preliminary to Gold levels. An excellent way for our advaced level canskaters to try our competitive skating stream is PREJUNIOR SESSION. This session involves smaller group instruction with professional coaches with smaller skater/coach ratios and is geared toward our level 5-7 stage canskaters who show a keen interest in skating. This is where our youg skaters may encounter their first competition. Canskate or Starskate skaters who show potential as competitive skaters can "jump" into the Competitive Program or Star Skate Program.
The Skate Canada Competitive Program provides opportunities for skaters to compete in a variety of competitions from the regional level to the national and international level. Skaters compete in singles, pairs, dance and precision events at levels ranging from juvenile to adult (adult category for Precision team skating only). Skaters who exhibit aptitude for competitive skating can advance from club competition to provincial or national championships and beyond.
