Senior/Competitive Program

Senior skaters will have passed a full prelim test and are working on Jr Bronze levels or greater.

They will be working on the StarSkate Intermediate/Senior Level Tests or Competitive Tests (Juvenile, Pre-novice, Novice, Junior or Senior).

Skating elements include: single, double and triple jumps, double combination jumps, combination spins, complex footwork and dance.

Lessons for these skaters are typically private (with professionally certified Skate Canada Coaches) but are sometimes conducted in small groups depending on the Coach.

When not in a lesson, these skaters are working on their own.

These programs develop figure skating skills in all 4 disciplines: Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Skate and Interpretive.

Skaters are taught by a Skate Canada NCCP Certified Coach.

Each program offers skaters the opportunity to take test through Skate Canada’s nationally standardized testing system.

Skaters may also enter a variety of competitions from “fun” recreational events to competing at regional and national levels.

Private coaching is highly recommended once the skater has reached this level.

These skaters have passed their Senior Bronze Freeskate (maximum of 24 skaters per session).

Test Days will be scheduled this season to enable skaters in the “StarSkate Program” to be evaluated on Freeskate, Dance, Skills, Interpretive and Competitive Tests.

Coaches are informed, in advance, of these scheduled “Test Days” and will communicate with the skaters as to what is being tested. Arrangements are made to have SKATE CANADA Evaluators attend to evaluate the skaters. The test day schedule is yet to be determined, and will be posted at the beginning of the season.
