STARSkate (Skill, Test, Achievement, Recognition)

Skate Canada’s figure skating program. The transition from learning to skate in CanSkate, this program introduces skaters to Interpretive Skating, Ice Dance, Free Skating, Skating Skills and Synchro Skating

Skaters in STARSkate are able to progress through the program at their own pace, exploring many avenues of interest. STARSkate provides the tools for skaters to develop self-confidence, motivation, time management skills and determination. This is where most skaters develop a passion for the sport that carries with them for a lifetime. When your child lands their first jump, executes 3 turns or learns the Dutch Waltz, it is a very exciting time for them. They are learning skills and developing confidence in themselves. Friendships are made, goals are achieved and celebrated as skaters learn about themselves and develop their self-image.

STAR provides a gradual introduction to performing elements and programs in a non-competitive environment. It also provides feedback for each element and program component. It focuses entirely on the learning outcomes in the Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD) while providing a fluid structure for skaters to advance through.
