PreCanSkate is a program for skaters aged 3-5. Lessons are 30 minutes. Children should be three by the time lessons begin and potty trained. Children must also be able to understand simple instructions and follow directions from a person other than their parent.
Parents are NOT allowed on the ice but are requested to stay or have another designated adult stay to help out if the child needs to come off the ice. (i.e. washroom, skate tightening etc).
This program introduces the fundamental skating skills such as balance and glide by using fun and interactive games and activities. Lessons are given in a group format and led by an NCCP certified professional coach. Professional coaches are assisted by trained Program Assistants.
Upon mastering the skills in this program, skaters will move into our CanSkate program.
