Competitions for Star Athletes
STARSkate participants love to compete! Our feedback indicates that even though a skater may choose not to participate in the Skate Canada CompetitiveSkate Program, they still want the opportunity to test their skill in a competition situation. Skate Canada offers several opportunities to do this.
Clothing and Accessories
- Clothing should provide warmth but not restrict movement
- proper skating attire including dresses or skirts, warm-up pants, fitted long sleeves or shirts, and fitted jackets
- Absolutely NO jeans or pajama pants
- Hard guard skate guards
- Warm gloves
Lessons
StarSkate athletes are taught in a group and/or private lesson format in a progressive manner. These skaters have the opportunity to take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system.
