Adult Skating Program - 2007/08

Our adult group consists of skaters with varied skill levels. Some are putting on skates for the first time this year, some are trying the same tests as the Starskate test stream and still others are perfecting their doubles, axles and triple jumps. This year we are offering two sessions.

Monday evenings from 8:30 to 9:20 for adults and teens who wish to learn to skate. We enjoy the guidance, skill and good humour of professional coaches who provide group lessons with individual attention. The ice is divided into three sections. One area is for the beginning skaters, one for those working on edges and turns and finally one area for skaters working on Skate Canada skills and dance patterns. This session is suitable for all levels of skaters with special attention being paid to those just learning to skate. Hockey helmets, knee and elbow guards are recommended for beginning skaters. Capacity for this session is 25.

The second session is Sunday afternoons from 3:00 to 3:50. This program starts with a twenty minute conditioning period led by a professional coach. The remaining half hour is for practice of previously learned skills. Skaters will receive group and/or individual coaching for this half hour period from our professional coach or program assistant. This session is suitable for returning skaters who wish to work on specialized areas of figure skating. Capacity for this session is 15.

Our skating season runs from September through April. If you would like further information please email me at lindaalbert@marchkanataskatingclub.com
