Program Registrations

A complete series of balance, control and agility skills taught in six stages of learning that pertain to hockey, ringette, speed skating and figure skating as well as general recreational skating. CanSkate uses nationally-tested and proven curriculum and delivery methods that guarantee skater success in developing stronger basic skills and developing them faster.  The CanSkate program is outlined below:

• class sizes are kept to 10 skaters per coach;
• 45 minute lessons provide enough time for learning and practicing new skills;
• all groups are coached by a Skate Canada and NCCP Certified Instructor;
• extra helps from program assistants ensure that skaters receive individual attention;
• skaters progress at their own speed through the levels;
• incentives (such as stickers and prizes) are used to keep kids motivated;
• theme days (such as "beach day" or "the Canskate challenge") keep kids entertained as they learn trickier and fancier skills.

On-ice training of jumps, spins, stroking, edges, turns, and musicality will be developed through this mandatory 2-day per week program. Class sizes are kept small (7 skaters per coach or less) in order to allow for individual attention. Skaters must show their commitment in enrolling in the entire twice-a-week program.

Off-ice training improves the skaters' flexibility, strength and coordination. Jumping technique and air positions as well as general skating knowledge are taught in the off-ice portion of the program.

Sunset SC's JD coaching staff is one of the best in Vancouver. Nationally certified coaches with competitive history will work with your child on a weekly basis to ensure they develop the necessary figure skating basics.
