Action, movement and fun! Lessons are given in a group format with a coach/program assistant (PA) -to-student ratio of a maximum 1:10. Skaters progress at their own rate and coaches make sessions active using teaching aids, upbeat music and a wide variety of activities that create a motivational environment and promote learning. Badges, ribbons and other incentives are used to benchmark skaters’ progress and reward effort and participation. The CanSkate program consists of 6 different stages. In these stages are 3 different areas (Agility, Balance and Control). Skaters will receive a ribbon for each area they complete and a badge once all 3 areas have been completed.
