PreStarSkate 

The NBSC PreStarSkate program is designed to "bridge" the transition from CanSkate to StarSkate. It is for skaters at the CanSkate Stage 5 and higher levels who are interested in moving out of CanSkate.  This group program format is led by trained professional coaches and assistants. Skaters continue to focus on the basic skills while introducing more advanced edges, turns and introductory figure skating moves such as jumps and spins. Helmets are optional after a skater passes Stage 5. Skaters are welcome to wear hockey or figure skates in this program and coaches will adapt skills accordingly. Figure skates are encouraged for skaters who intend to continue into the StarSkate programs.

Speak to the Coach Coordinator for the CanSkate Program if you are wondering if your skater is ready for our PreStarSkate program. Alternatively, email us at:  info.northbayskatingclub@gmail.com.

**NOTE:  There will be an increase in session fees applied when skaters move from CanSkate into the PreStarSkate program mid-season. There will also be a change in time and it is possible it will be a different day of the week than your CanSkate session. 

Although not mandatory for this level, skaters are encouraged to consider private lessons in order to enhance their skating experience and development.
