CanSkate – Learn-to-Skate

Overview:

Looking for the perfect way to get your child moving, learning, and building confidence this season? The CanSkate program in Verner is where it all begins — right here in your own backyard!

Whether your child is stepping onto the ice for the very first time or wants to strengthen their skating foundation, CanSkate is the #1 learn-to-skate program in Canada — and for good reason. Developed by Skate Canada, it focuses on fun, participation, and skill development, all while being part of a safe, supportive, and bilingual environment.

✨ Why Choose CanSkate in Verner?
By joining, your child isn’t just learning to skate — they’re gaining confidence, independence, and inner strength with every stride. Skaters will go through and be placed in three groups based on skill level and guided by certified Skate Canada coaches  focus on three pillars: agility, balance, and control.

Who Can Join?

• Children aged 4 and up
• No prior skating experience required
• Eager to learn and improve on the ice!

🌟 What to Expect:

• Grouped by ability to ensure each child is both comfortable and challenged
• Earn ribbons and badges as they progress through levels
• Skating made fun and rewarding every step of the way!
•  

Requirements:

• Attire: Skaters should wear comfortable, warm clothing suitable for physical activity. For safety, a properly fitting CSA approved helmet is required.
• Skates: Participants should have well-fitted figure skates (with good support around the ankles) or hockey skates, depending on their focus. Skates should be in good condition and properly sharpened.  We recommend starting in a hockey skate as they have the best support to learn in.

They may be invited to continue into the Pre-Star program for figure skating or transition into our Edge, Power and Balance Skating program — perfect for kids looking to push their skills further and have fun doing it!
