BEAUMONT SKATING CLUB

 

Calling all aspiring skaters! 

 

 

 

 

STARSkate 

 

Once a skater is in the Skate Canada StarSkate Program, there are several options. Skaters may choose to remain in the StarSkate Program, taking assessments (although not mandatory) at organized assessment sessions and honing learned skills. Skaters may also choose to enter competitions, while still trying Skate Canada assessments. Other skaters may feel that they have progressed to a point where they may wish to enter the Skate Canada Podium Pathway or become involved in synchronized skating, evaluating or judging, or participate as an adult or varsity member.

Skaters who wish to challenge their figure skating skills and who show potential as competitive skaters can participate in the Podium Pathway.

 

Podium Pathway

 

There are several opportunities throughout the season for skaters to participate in competitive events.

The Skate Canada Podium Pathways Program offers nationally standardized competitions to competitive skaters. These events are the stepping stones to things such as the National Team and the World and Olympic teams. Skaters competing in the qualifying event structure can do so at the Juvenile (optional category), Pre-Novice, Novice, Junior and Senior levels in singles, pair and ice dance.

 

 

Lesson Format

Skaters participate in private lessons which can be either one on one instruction, semi-private (2 skaters), or small group (3 or more skaters).
Please contact the coaches if you have questions about private lessons or coaching fees.

 

Competitions​

Coaches will send out an email prior to registration opening to inform you of the upcoming opportunities. Different competitions target different competitive levels and coaches will ensure they match your child’s competitive level with the opportunities available throughout the season.
 

Assessment​

Your Coach will decide which assessment your skater is prepared for and will advise you when an assessment will be done.  Assessments will follow Skate Canada's Star1 - Gold guidelines
