Figure Skating

For skaters interested in joining our intro to figure skating program, called Pre-Junior, skaters must have completed up to Stage 3 of CanSkate and must be able to do the following skills: forwards push/glide sequence, basic skating backwards, stopping, and be able to sustain a 1 foot glide on a curve. 

The Pre-Junior program is by invitation by OSC Coaches. Once skaters are able to demonstrate the skills required, OSC coaches will extend an invitation and more information will be provided to you by the Registrar. If you have a CanSkater interested in figure skating, please inform one of our CanSkate coaches at any time. An on-ice assessment may also be arranged for the fee of $10 - contact the Registrar for more info. 

Hockey/Ringette

For skaters currently participating in or looking to start playing hockey/ringette, once skaters have completed up to Stage 2 or 3, consider registering for the PrePower power skating session. Offered during our CanSkate sessions, these athletes have the opportunity to skate in their full gear with a stick and focus on power skating skills. PrePower is for any age skater and is offered during most CanSkate sessions.

What's after Pre-CanSkate?

At the end of the 10 week program, skaters will receive a report card. If the Coach has assessed that your skater has completed all the skills required for Pre-CanSkate, your skater is now welcome to register for CanSkate. Once a skater has completed Pre-CanSkate, there is not an age restriction For example, if a skater is 4 years old and passed Pre-CanSkate, they can register for CanSkate (as long as Pre-CanSkate was completed at OSC). 

If your skater has completed the skills before mid-season, the coaches will look to transition your skater directly onto the CanSkate session offered at the same time as Pre-CanSkate and you will be contacted with more information. As Pre-CanSkate is 30 mins and CanSkate is 45mins, additional program fees may apply (classes are prorated and fees would be $20 or lower).
