The BC Coast Region is pleased to introduce a series of Skater Development opportunities for STAR 1-4 skaters that will begin in the new year. 


Seminars will focus on skill and performance development as well as movement fundamentals for this early stage of athlete development. Seminars will offer a brief introduction to all 4 disciplines of skating*: singles, pairs, dance and synchronized skating. Seminars will include both off Ice and on Ice instruction.


Coaches are also welcome to attend.

The day will be divided into 4 sessions by STAR level. Each session will include 2 hours of on-ice instruction and 1 hour of off-ice instruction for a total of 3 ½ hours. Each STAR level will be capped at 30 skaters. We welcome all coaches to attend with their skaters during sessions that interest them.
