Skate Canada STARskate/Test Stream Session Information

Sessions: Bronze, Silver and Gold

Bronze, Silver and Gold sessions start week of September 7, 2009

Please note: No refunds without a doctor's letter.

These sessions are for skaters who have entered or who are entering the Skate Canada Star/ Test Stream. This program offers opportunities for skaters of all ages to develop fundamental figure skating skills in the areas of ice dance, skating skills, free skate and interpretive skating. Once a skater is in the Skate Canada STARSkate Program, there are several of options. Skaters may choose to remain in the STARSkate Program, taking tests at organized test sessions and honing learned skills. Skaters may also choose to enter competitions, while still trying Skate Canada tests. Other skaters may feel that they have progressed to a point where they may wish to enter the Skate Canada Competitive Skate Program or become involved in synchronized skating.
