PlexSKATE (5-14 years old)
A dynamic new program that focuses on teaching and mastering strong basic skills earlier to prepare skaters for all ice sports – hockey, and figure skating. On-ice delivery focusing on continuous movement emphasizes the use of newer and more dynamic group teaching concepts including the Fast Track, Fun Zone and station rotation all of which has been proven to increase practice opportunities and improve the rate of skill acquisition among skaters. More visual aids and music are used to create a fun, stimulating and welcoming environment. The session also includes progress report cards and an exciting new series of award ribbons to achieve, in addition to the Level 1 to 6 badges.
