What is STARSkate?

 

Skate Canada's STARSkate program offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the primary areas of Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Skate, and Artistic skating.  Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in group and private lesson formats in a progressive and sequential manner. Skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada tests (at the discretion of the skater's private coach) through a nationally standardized testing system. Skater's may also opt to pursue Starskate level competitions, under the direction of their coach.  

 

What is the Skate Canada fee? 

 

All members of a Skate Canada sanctioned club pay an annual registration fee which registers them as a member of the National Skate Canada organization. This non-refundable fee is included in your program registration charge.  All Club information is communicated by email and will be on our website. Please make sure the office has the email address that you check often. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the skating office. 

The Stouffville Skating Club regrets we are unable to offer makeup classes when a skater is away due to illness, vacation or injury or due to unforeseen cancelled sessions (i.e. inclement weather).
