Important Program Info

  • Skaters must be invited to join the Pre-Junior, Intro to Figure Skating program - for more information, click here: Pathway to Figure Skating
  • All Pre-Junior sessions are offered in group format and are a maximum of 45-minute on-ice sessions. Skaters will be supervised and with a dedicated coach or Program Assistant for their entire time on ice.
  • We follow the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, which recommends that skaters at this level train 1–2 hours per week on the ice and 1 hour per week off the ice. For Pre-Junior skaters, we recommend registering for 1–2 on-ice sessions per week, with at least one session that includes dryland or ballet training.
  • Program fees for Pre-Junior include costs for ice and coaching fees. Additional costs are noted below.
  • VOLUNTEER POLICY REVISION: For the 2025–2026 season, all families with a skater registered in Pre-Junior and/or StarSkate are required to submit a $200 Volunteer Bond at the time of registration. The number of volunteer commitments required will depend on how many sessions your skater is registered for each week. Once your volunteer commitments are completed by the stated deadlines, the bond will be credited to your account (a refund can be issued upon request). For full details on the requirements, deadlines, and opportunities, please visit the Volunteering page or view our Policies page.
