STARSKATE - INTERMEDIATE & Advanced

Take it further, enjoy competition in a safe and healthy environment, and develop high level skating skills. STARSkate has been the mainstay of figure skating in Canada for more than four decades. The STARSkate program consists of figure skating skills in four areas – Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Skate and Interpretive, with skaters having the opportunity to be assessed (tested) at various level of progression.

Once a skater is in the Skate Canada STARSkate Program, there are several options. They may choose to remain in the STARSkate Program, where they can hone their skills, complete Skate Canada assessments and enter competitions throughout the region and province. Some skaters may feel that they have progressed to a point where they may wish to enter the Skate Canada CompetitiveSkate Program or become involved in Synchronized Skating.

These full program packages have been designed to offer optimal training opportunities for our skaters to help them progress in their skills, while also providing some flexibility based on skaters' stage of development and figure skating goals. Skaters may register for the full year (September to May) or for each of the three seasons.
