JUNIOR ACADEMY PROGRAM
(Ages 4 – 8)
Langley Skating Club’s Junior Academy (JA) Program is by invitation only. Invitation
is based on the Director of Skating’s assessment of competent skating skills and a
positive work ethic. Most JA skaters are typically drawn from our CanSkate Program.
Langley Skating Club’s JA Program requires skaters to train in a group lesson format, a minimum of two days or more per week. The Junior sessions can be occasionally usedto supplement more training time, with approval by the Director of Skating. The JA Program offers a Team Coaching environment and 100% coach-directed time.
Skaters continue to learn fundamental skills through our advanced CanSkate Program,Stage 5 and 6. Skaters also participate in off-ice classes, which include but are notlimited to flexibility training and cardiovascular training.
