This is a developmental program to enhance skating quality for STAR 3-6 competitions. These sessions are offered every Sunday to the STAR 3-6 skaters as an addition to their regular skating days. Skaters must be registered for a minimum of 2 days (not including the STAR 3-6 Academy session) and must be actively competing in Freeskate at STAR 3-6 & Provincial series competitions to be eligible. This is a coach-led group session taught by various coaches on staff (and sometimes guest coaches). We will also provide performance sessions so that the skaters learn how to compete/skate on clear ice.

The training will include these key components weekly to intensify your skater’s progress and prepare them for the next level:

Jump Development
Spinning to Success
Footwork and Turns
Field Moves and Fun Stuff
Musical Interpretation
Choreography & Movement
Performance Ice
Transitions and Linking Steps
Conditioning
Competition Must Knows
plus much more…

Please ask your coach if this program is right for your skater!
