Junior Performance Figure Skating

4. Junior Performance Figure Skating

STAR 5+

As our skaters develop and improve, our skating academy must grow with them. We have designed the Junior Performance level for skaters that are working on an axel and have been identified by their coaches as showing both the technical readiness and the commitment necessary to pursue figure skating at a competitive level. This program is designed to bridge the gap between recreational and competitive figure skating. Skaters will begin to experience more structured training that mirrors the expectations of higher competitive levels, preparing them mentally and physically for the challenges of figure skating competitions. 

As per Skate Canada guidelines, Junior performance skaters will be given structured training plans to allow them to learn how to practice independently and effectively. They also will be given priority to private lessons on their sessions as long as coaching availability permits. Junior Performance skaters will receive 2, 30min 1 on 1 sessions included in the program cost.

*Skaters are required to be registered with Skate Canada.  If you are not currently registered there is a one time per year fee that applies to any programming you do.  Please complete the link on the registration page. Registration is valid from September 1st to August 31st of each year.*
