PRE-JUNIOR
WELCOME TO PRE-JUNIOR
The PreJunior program allows skaters to complete CanSkate Stage 5 and 6 while transitioning into our STAR Program. Skaters participate in a 1-hour, fully coached session, continuing to work on the 3 fundamental areas:
- Agility
- Balance
- Control
Once skaters have completed the PreJunior program requirements (CanSkate level 6), they will advance into our Junior program.

Program Structure
Each on ice session consists of a 60 minute, fully coached class taught by NCCP trained coaches.
- 10 minutes - class warm up
- 3 x 13 minutes station rotations - Agility, Balance, Control (small groups)
- 10 minutes - class cool down
Off ice training is included in program prices. Skaters are strongly encouraged to skate 2 days per week to see progress.
Off Ice Training
Skaters should develop the habit of warming up and stretching their muscles before they step onto the ice. Off ice training assists with coordination, strength, flexibility and movement development which in turn, will lead to the acquisition on on ice skills sooner. We expect all of our PreJunior skaters to attend the professionally led off-ice fitness classes as scheduled. A variety of physical activities will be introduced. Skaters must come dressed appropriately and be prepared.
Off ice classes are included in the program price. Skaters may attend as many off ice classes as suits their schedule and do not necessarily need to skate on the same day.
For example, a PreJunior skater may skate on Tuesdays and Saturdays and participate in off ice training on Tuesdays and Fridays.
FLEXAFIT - the Fundamentals curriculum is based on 4 FLEXAFIT Pillars: Spin & Edges, Jumps & Plyometric, Strength & Conditioning, and Flexibility & Mobility. Skaters will learn and practice off-ice skills through warm-up exercises, stretches, drills, technique class, and games. Skills are taught in six progressions, guiding students from basics to mastery in a fast-paced, detailed, and fun curriculum that sparks excitement for their off-ice journey!
Dance Rhythms - this class focuses on different styles of dance such as hip hop, jazz, modern and contemporary helping skaters to improve expression, rhythm and overall movement quality in a fun and challenging environment!
Assessments
Assessing is done continuously throughout the season. Your skater's achievements will be rewarded with badges & ribbons as in CanSkate. Evaluations will be uploaded to the website under their skating account periodically. When your skater is ready to move up from PreJunior to the Junior program, you will be notified by the STARSkate Director.
