Welcome to a great season
of skating!
For the benefit of our skaters and families we would like to provide you
with some general information about the Olds Figure Skating Club.
This club is a non-profit organization which is managed and operated by
parent volunteers and is affiliated with the national organization,
Skate Canada. The purpose
of our club is to encourage the instruction, practice, enjoyment and advancement
of its members in all aspects of skating and thereby to promote physical fitness
and encourage lifelong participation in skating.
We endeavor to do the best job we can to make participation in the
skating programs enjoyable, challenging, and successful. Every effort is made to
keep our members informed by means of monthly newsletters, bulletin board
displays, general meetings etc.
However, this is your club and we need your help to make it successful!
If you or your children have any concerns questions, or suggestions

Your input is valuable! Together,
we can make skating a positive experience for your child!

Canskate – Ages 5 and older
This
program is the learn-to-skate program for beginners of all ages and as such is
tailored to each user-group (e.g. pre-school, youth, adult). Participants earn
badges while they learn fundamental skating skills. CanSkate is the feeder
program to all other Skate Canada Skating Programs. Participants are taught in a
group lesson format by a certified CanSkate coach and a carefully trained
Program Assistant. One of the key
delivery standards of the CanSkate program is to ensure that participants are
moving 90% of their time on the ice.
Program Structure, Awards
and Incentives
The Canskate program is structured in a grid-format, consisting of the
development of six fundamental movements: GO forward, GO backwards, STOP, TURN,
SPIN and JUMP organized in six stages of learning, with an optional 7th level
for skaters wishing to progress into figure skating. The skills are arranged in
progressions, from very simple to the more complex. Once the skills on each
stage are mastered, a badge is awarded.
A helmet is required.
