What is PreCanskate???
NCCP-trained professional coaches, assisted by trained program assistants.
- A 30 minute non-parented class for children ages 3-5 who have not had any significant time on skates. It is designed to introduce children to the ice and help them become comfortable. This program teaches children the basics of how to get up when they fall down, how to move forward, basic backward movement and how to stop. Music, toys and games are used to help children feel ready to take the next step.
- Once a participant has gained confidence and shown skill in gliding on each foot, stopping, and getting up from a down position they can move on to the CanSkate program.
- Skaters are to be dressed warmly for classes including waterproof mitts or gloves. Snowpants are also recommended.
- Approved CSA helmets are mandatory and children will not be permitted on the ice without one.
