ADULTSKATE
Adult skating is growing in popularity and more and more clubs are offering recreational, test and competitive opportunities to this segment of the population. Adults participate in CANSkate, STARSkate and POWERSkate programs as well as on synchronized skating teams. Adult championships currently provide opportunities to adult skaters to experience the challenge of a competition in a fun, social environment. Skate Canada is currently expanding its programming in this area.
ADULT POWERSkate 
4-week sessions led by Skate Canada Professional Power Skating Coach Denise Reid. This action-packed, high energy instructional power skating program focuses on balance, power, agility, speed and endurance.  Skills, techniques and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to game situations.

ADULT LEARN-to-Skate
9-week sessions led by Skate Canada Professional Coach Shari Shortt. The program focuses on the development of six fundamental movements organized in six stages of learning. The skills are arranged in progressions, from very simple to the more complex. Each stage has a primary focus. Once the skills on each stage are mastered, a badge is awarded. The series of badges include Stage badges, Fundamental Movement badges and Fitness badges.

The names of the STAGE badges are:
Stage 1 - Balance 
Stage 2 - Glide Forward 
Stage 3 - Glide Backward 
Stage 4 - Edges 
Stage 5 - Power 
Stage 6 - Speed 
Stage 7 (optional) - Pre-Preliminary

The names of the FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT badges are:
