Registration for Nelson Skating Club's Canskate (Learn to Skate) and figure skating spring session is now open, with a deadline of Thursday.
The Canskate programming designed by Skate Canada is ever evolving with coaches feedback seeing skaters improve their basic skills even faster.
Registering early should guarantee a space, but it has filled up to maximum capacity before. The club is are always looking for program assistants (anyone with basic skating skills can inquire — this is a great way that family members can get involved). It is also a way that any youth requiring volunteer hours can achieve them.
The club also has open ice sessions available in the morning (fall and winter) and afternoons for anyone with past figure skating experience and wishes to enjoy the ice in the environment that supports all aspects of figure skating skills.
The club is looking for volunteers. Every year they need parents to step up and help. The board of directors always needs support, like all non-profit organizations. Skills you have may be of great use or just another hand to support in any way you can.
There have been some exciting changes for the club this season that they hope to soon share.
