Junior Academy

Junior Academy, formerly known as Introduction to Figure Skating. This our Learn to Figure Skate program!

Is a bridging program suited for skaters who have successfully completed CanSkate Stage 3 or equivalent and have been talent identified by our Skate Canada Certified Professional Coaches based on their ability, desire and expressed interest in continuing development in figure skating. Skaters entering Junior Academy receive specialized instruction for figure skating in a small group setting. The program consists of on-ice instruction in the areas of jumping, spinning, edges, turns and musicality, and off-ice instruction in jump technique and other exercises to help with body development, awareness and movement patterns.  Basic posture and stroking will also be emphasized to help build speed, endurance, gracefulness and agility.

To support and reinforce skill acquisition, skaters in this program are recommended to participate in two (2) on-ice sessions per week and one (1) off-ice session per week, though not mandatory.

Our Junior Academy sessions are instructed by Skate Canada Certified Professional Coaches and delivered in a group format. All ice and coaching costs are included in the registration price. Additional coaching in the form of private lessons is optional.
