Rising STARS
|
This program is designed to serve as a bridge between our CanSkate and STARSkate programs and is geared toward skaters who show a strong interest and potential in pursuing figure skating.
With a focus on refining fundamental skating skills while introducing key figure skating techniques in a supportive and structured environment, this program is by invitation only. Rising STARS sessions are managed and registered by our Club Registrar. Families are not able to register for them online directly. |
