Sunset Skating Club offers the Canskate program that is a great introduction to skating. It is an absolute must for anyone who hopes to enter the world of figure skating, hockey, ringette or just wants to learn a few skills. For skaters that have taken lessons elsewhere, or over 5 years old, Sunset offers the regular Canskate program. If your child is new to skating and is under 5 years old, you may want to enroll him/her into Canskate for Tots which provides him/her with more personal attention while being in a class with children of similar age.

Canskate

How our Canskate program runs:

class sizes are kept to 9 skaters per coach
1 hour lessons provide enough time for learning and practicing new skills
all groups are coached by a Skate Canada and NCCP certified instructor
skaters progress at their own speed through the levels
incentives (such as stickers and prizes) are used to keep kids motivated
theme days (such as "beach day" or "the canskate challenge") keep kids entertained as they learn trickier and fancier skills

Canskate for Tots

The Tots program is designed for a more fun and relaxed introduction to skating for children under 5 years old. A Tots class is run on every Canskate session as outlined below.

class sizes are kept to 6 skaters per coach
extra help from program assistants ensure that skaters receive individual attention
classes focus on fun, with lots of toys and props, and educational games
