Skate Canada and the Winter Club of St. Catharines have developed a new CanSkate program based on Sport Canada’s long-term athlete development (LTAD) principles. Exciting new features include new awards and great tools for coaches and most importantly a tested and proven new curriculum and delivery methods that guarantee skater success in developing stronger basic skills and developing them faster.
But there’s more! The new program also includes specific skills that pertain to hockey, ringette, speed skating and figure skating. The result is a dynamic new program that prepares all skaters for virtually every ice sport.
The Winter Club of St. Catharines is also proud to have all its programs taught by professional coaches who are specially trained and certified through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).
