Program Information
The Junior Academy introduces participants to figure skating. Classes offer both on and off-ice training opportunities for skaters of all ages. Fundamental figure skating skills are developed in both group and private lesson formats. Skaters have the option of participating in local competitions in the Elementary Performance Program category.
Lessons:
Skaters working at all levels and in all figure skating programs develop their skills through private lessons. Skaters must take private lessons from one of the club coaches. Private lessons are offered to skaters starting in the Junior Academy Performance Program. Our Club coaches are best able to provide advice on whether a skater is ready for private lessons. Lessons may be private or semi-private and will depend on the availability of the coaches and individual skater needs. Lessons are typically fifteen minutes in length.
Skaters contract individually with a coach of their choice and will be billed directly for a skater's lessons. Coaches set their own hourly rates based on experience, qualifications and Skate Canada guidelines. It is advisable to discuss expectations, goals, frequency of lessons and payment options in advance. In addition, skaters are expected to be prompt and to attend lessons regularly, as well as provide advance notice, whenever possible, if a lesson will be missed.
Skaters and/or parents experiencing difficulty with a coach are encouraged to arrange to meet with the coach to discuss the problem. If such discussions prove to be unproductive, the issue may be communicated in writing to the Professional Coach Liaison. The Professional Coach Liaison will offer advice and mediation if required. If a coaching change is necessary, the coach should be advised by phone or in person and any outstanding coaching fees should be paid in full prior to retaining the services of another coach.
