STRUCTURE: The AdultSkate program follows the same skill progressions as the CanSkate program, but in a more structured format. Adult skaters may have taken skating lessons in their youth but not been on skates for some time, or may never have learned to skate. An adult skater may just want to improve their skating skills in a safer, more structured environment with a Professional Coach rather than at public skating.
Adult skaters do not have to complete all CanSkate levels before moving into Private STARskate OR Adult CanPower lessons, please consult your Coach if you have any questions regarding Freeskate, Dance, Skills or CanPower.
AdultCanSkate focuses on the development of seven stages of learning. The skills are arranged in progressions, from very simple to the more complex with each stage having a primary focus Balance, Go Forwards, etc. Once the skills in each stage have been mastered, a badge is awarded for the hard work they have done. We offer private & semi-private lessons in addition to group lessons for this level.
Badges to achieve are:
Stage 2 - Glide Forwards
Stage 3 - Glide Backwards
Stage 5 - Power
Stage 7 - Spin, Spiral, Jump
PROPER SKATING ATTIRE & EQUIPMENT: We recommend that you purchase:
* Single bladed, leather lace up skates rather than the moulded skates. Figure or hockey skates.
* DO NOT purchase the style of skates that have one or two straps instead of the laces
* CSA approved hockey or skating helmets are MANDATORY.
* No bicycle helmets, trailing scarves, elbow or knee pads required.
* When purchasing new or used skates, please make sure to sharpen them as they DO
NOT come sharpened.
* Wear warm clothing & gloves. REMEBER that it is cool in the arena but as they move around they will warm up. No jeans as this restricts movement.
