Pre-junior is our
learn-to-figure-skate program.
Once a skater passes CanSkate Stage 3*, or at the discretion of the head coach,
they are eligible to move up into Pre-junior. A one-hour session consists of a
20 minute group warm-up, followed by a 30 minute group lesson with a
professional coach. During these group lessons, skaters work on stroking, field
moves, jumps and spins. The remaining 10 minutes is for independent practice.

New this year: Helmet directive from Skate Canada
All Skate Canada member clubs and skating schools who offer a CanSkate program
must
ensure all CanSkate and Adult CanSkate participants up to and including Stage 5
must
wear a CSA approved hockey helmet while on the ice.
Clubs and skating schools must ensure this policy is enforced during all skating
activities
including competitions, carnival days or any other special on ice activities
throughout
the season for this level of skater.
Clubs and skating schools may choose to expand the use of CSA approved hockey
helmets in their club as they see necessary. In general, anyone who lacks good
control/balance when skating forward, backward and has difficulty stopping, as
well as
maneuvering around obstacles on the ice must wear a CSA approved hockey helmet.
This policy is a minimum standard. Sections, at their discretion, may impose a
higher
standard which all clubs and skating schools within the sections’ boundaries
must adopt
and implement.
2.0 HELMET USE DURING A COMPETITION OR TEST DAY
A skater beyond a CanSkate Stage 5 level that chooses to wear a CSA approved hockey helmet during a competition or test day will not be subjected to any deductions in relation to the use of a CSA approved hockey helmet.
