Why Teen/AdultSkate at CLSC?
The CanSkate program at the Char-Lan Skating Club has been awarded the Achieved Standard distinction in the CanSkate Excellence program.
CLSC is the only CanSkate program in our area that achieved the minimum expectations, meaning that our group sizes are small (less than 1:10 ratio), our coaches lead lessons that are high quality and our program is run to strict standards.
Skaters who complete the six stages of CanSkate will be well prepared for whatever ice sport they choose to participate in. CanSkate graduates go on to compete in hockey, ringette, speed skating, figure skating or simply enjoy recreational skating with their family and friends. AdultSkate will give skaters the tools for amazing success!
What will I learn?
All CanSkate lessons are built around the ABC's of skating- Agility, Balance and Control. Adult skaters will learn at their own pace and comfort level with the support of an NCCP certified professional skating coach.

Who will coach CanSkate?

What will I need?
All skaters will need a CSA approved hockey helmet. Ski, bicycle and multi use helmets are not acceptable. Skaters should dress in warm layers, with mittens, splash/snow pants and a jacket or sweater. Good quality hockey skates or figure skates will make a world of difference. Skaters who have passed Stage 5 CanSkate skills may choose to skate without a helmet.
