This program is designed for individuals who have some skating experience, whether through other structured programs like CANSKATE and hockey or simply learning to skate on their own, and would now like to learn how to speed skate.
The focus of our Beginner program is on skill development, the ABC’s of physical Literacy - Agility, Balance and Coordination, not racing. The intent is to build overall motor skills, strength, endurance, flexibility and speed in a fun and relaxed environment while building confidence on the ice. Skaters will also have the opportunity, if they choose, to participate in Club Mini Meets, as well as sanctioned regional and provincial competitions appropriate to their skill level.
