KidSkate

KIDSKATE COORDINATOR: Rodolfo Guilherme

Our KidSkate program is an introductory session taught by professional coaches. It is taught in a flexible manner, and is designed to be an enjoyable time for preschool children (ages 3-5) while they learn the fundamentals of skating. KidSkate precedes the beginner skating program, CanSkate. Note: A photocopy of the child’s birth certificate is required at registration. CSA-approved helmets and skate guards are mandatory and must be worn at all times when children are not on the ice surface.

For the safety and well being of all of our KidSkate skaters, parents must stay in the arena where their child can see them at all times, and skaters should never be left at the arena alone.

Equipment for Kidskate:

  • CSA approved helmets are mandatory for KidSkaters.
  • Skate guards are also mandatory. All skaters must have skate guards on their blades when not on the ice, including in the arena lobby.
  • When choosing your child’s skates, we recommend “lace-up” skates, as they provide the best support, allow proper movement, and accommodate adjustable fit. The skate’s boot must be firm, and must provide good support to the foot and ankle.
  • Skaters should dress warmly and comfortably to enjoy their skating experience and enhance their skating skills. Snow pants or nylon pants over top of layers of clothing are a good idea as they provide warmth and dryness during the session.

Communications:

Times and schedules are subject to change; whenever possible, notices will be posted on the MSC website, emailed to members and posted in the arena.

For this reason, please provide email addresses for every relevant individual in your family (consider all adults: include work and/or home contacts). If you do not have access to email, please be sure to check our website or the bulletin board in the lobby of the arena on a regular basis.
