The North Toronto Skating Club offers children the chance to learn to skate proficiently,
using Skate Canada's CanSkate program. This is a stepped approach to learning how to skate.
Children can begin as young as 3½ years old. They progress through different skill levels, earning
badges of achievement as they go. To join our CanSkate program, please click on our 2008-2009

|
The CanSkate Program is taught to:
Skaters ages 3½ to 5 years - this is a fully supervised ½ hour of group lesson. There are 8 skaters to 1 professional coach and 1 program assistant.
Skaters aged 6 and up - skaters are on the ice for an hour as follows: - a 15 minute practice time, a 15 minute warm-up led by a professional coach, and a half hour small group skill
development. A 5 year old skater may apply for the hour CanSkate session ONLY if he/she has earned the Beginner Badge.
|
On the CanSkate sessions, badge testing will be done approximately once a month.
If a skater changes groups as a result of badge testing, they'll be notified by e-mail during
the week following badge testing. The group lesson sheets are also posted each week on the bulletin
board on the south wall, east of the entry doors to the ice.
Another important facet of the NTSC program is the ability to provide testing opportunities for
children working towards higher levels of proficiency. Tests determine at what level a skater will
compete, and will qualify a skater to progress to a higher session. Decisions with regard to tests
will be discussed between students and their private coaches.
They provide clear incentives to students working hard to develop themselves as figure skaters.
Skate Canada sanctioned tests are offered for Pre-StarSkate/Preliminary, Intermediate, Senior and Advanced Level
skaters
