Pre-STAR Group A

Pre-Star Program (Group A)

​

Purpose: Pre-STAR bridges the gap between learn-to-skate(CANskate) and independent figure skating (STARSkate),fostering confidence and technique.

 

• Requirements: JDFSC coaches constantly assess the skaters in our CANskate program. Those who are wearing figure skates and/or express interest in figure skating will receive an invitation to try out the program when ready.

 

• Focus Areas: Lessons cover introductory figure skating elements including jumps, spins, stroking, and basic edges.

 

• Structure: Delivered as group lessons with professional coaches, sometimes integrated into the ‘Group B’ STAR sessions.

 

• Transition to STAR 1: Pre-STAR prepares skaters for the Skate Canada STAR 1 assessments, which is the first level in the Skate Canada STARSkate program.
