Pre-CanSkate:

This 30-minute program is lead by NCCP Professional Coaches and trained Program Assistants for skaters ages 3 & 4 years. The skaters MUST be 3 years by the first lesson. No previous skating experience is required.

All skaters will be grouped by their ability and previously passed levels. Each group will have a 8:1 ratio. Low ratios ensures all skaters will learn the skating skills in a fun, interactive, and high-energy way. It also provides extra time for those that need a little more help from the Coaches or Program Assistants.

Once the skaters have mastered the 3 stages of the Pre-CanSkate program they will be ready to move into the CanSkate program.
