STAR 1 Academy skaters will work in smaller groups with a professional coach and learn figure skating skills such as jumps, edges, spirals, spins, turns, and ice dances. Skate Canada recommends STAR Skaters skate at least twice weekly and include off-ice training.
Classes include off-ice training to develop cardio fitness, flexibility, strength, and control and reduce the risk of injury on the ice. Entry to this program is by invitation only through the CANSkate program or by video submission assessments. Videos can be emailed to gsc.coachdirector@gmail.com.

STAR 2 TO GOLD
We look forward to a fun spring session with our STARSkaters. Skate Canada recommends STAR Skaters skate at least twice weekly and include off-ice training. Thus, we have developed special Junior and Senior Packages to help our STARSkaters progress despite the reduced ice time for the Spring session.
We know the morning sessions are hard for some families, but trust us, it will make a difference! Some skaters actually like the morning sessions better as they can do more after-school activities with friends and family. You’ll grow to love ’em! ⏰
STAR 2 – 4 (Junior)
To align with Skate Canada’s STAR program, STAR 2-4 skaters in Junior sessions will be placed in small groups and will have a minimum of 45 minutes of instruction for both on-ice and off-ice lessons.
