Skate Canada Programs/Programmes de Patinage Canada
Figure skating is a dynamic sport to watch. Ask any parent or spectator at the Shawville Arena who stays to watch the skaters practise. It combines strength and grace, determination and perseverance. The level of exercise is moderate for beginners, so it is easily accessible to most children. Our programs have skaters as young as two years old. As our skaters improve, they have different levels of commitment to choose from, ranging from a one hour group lesson to private coaching fees and ice time three times a week.
The reasons for joining our club are as varied as the skaters themselves. The CanSkate Program is an excellent introduction to skating; it can serve to improve performance in other sports such as hockey, dance, ringette, and any other sports requiring balance and coordination. Most of our Advanced CanSkate and Star Skaters stay on in our programs to develop their potential as figure skaters or refine their skating skills, and sometimes they assist to coach the youngest skaters.
The SFSC is truly a special cohort of individuals. Everyone involved is a valuable part of the community that is our club. We take pride in the welcoming and friendly environment our club runs itself on. Our skaters, parents, coaches, volunteers, and the wider community work hard to allow our club and the individuals within it to thrive in an atmosphere of enjoyment. The SFSC is a family joined by a love for the sport.
