Senior StarSkate

Senior skaters are the most advanced skaters in the club. These skaters are working on their higher level Skate Canada tests (Junior Silver and higher) or are in the competitive skating system. Skaters must have passed at least half of the Senior Bronze Free Skate. With the exception of stroking, all lessons are private lessons. Skaters are usually taking their instruction from one or more of the HSC coaches, coordinated by the HSC head coach, but may also work with coaches not associated with the Club. Senior skaters are typically skating at least four sessions each week. As with the intermediate session, fees include ice costs and stroking lessons while coaching fees and test fees are extra.

Metro area skating clubs collaborate in offering Intermediate and Senior sessions. Skaters register with and pay fees to their home club but may skate in several different rinks in the Metro area. This arrangement improves scheduling flexibility for all our skaters and helps to keep registration costs down.

About StarSkate

The STARSkate program offers the opportunity for skaters of all ages to develop figure skating skills in four areas: Skating Skills, Ice Dance, Free Style, and Interpretive. Skaters develop their skills and abilities in each level progressively and sequentially and may test and be recognized for their skills through the Skate Canada nationally standardized testing system. Information about the testing levels is available on the StarSkate page of the Skate Canada website. StarSkaters may choose to compete in local inter-club competitions and provincial StarSkate competitions. The most successful competitors can advance to the national StarSkate competition.
