MBSC - Figure Skating Programs

The Mt. Boucherie Skating Club provides a wide range of figure skating programs. From beginners to national level competitors, we pride ourselves on providing programs that enable our skaters to reach their own personal potential. So whether you want to skate recreationally, or have dreams of being on the podium our coaches will help your skater reach their goals. 

 

STAR 1 (Formerly Junior Academy)

The entry point for our figure skating programs is STAR 1. In the STAR 1 program skaters will be taught in a group format and will learn the basic principals of figure skating. Our goal in the STAR 1  program is to provide skaters with the skills needed to progress through our more advanced figure skating programs. In most cases skaters come to STAR 1 having participated in our CanSkate or Pre Figure Skating program, however this is not a mandatory requirement and your child may audition for our STAR 1 Class at any time during the season. If you are interested in having your child join STAR 1 we encourage you to contact our Director of Skating (Nina Greschner) to discuss the available options.

 

STAR 2-3

Once a skater has graduated from our STAR 1 program they will progress onto the Star 2 program. Star 2-3  skaters will continue to receive primarily group instruction, however they will be introduced to more independent practicing times, and will have the opportunity to work with a coach in a private lesson setting. Star 2-3 skaters will begin to learn solos and will perform to music. Skaters in the Star 2-3 Program will be prepared to participate in local competitions and will participate in our year end show 'Spring Fling'.

Star 4 - Gold

Our Star4-Gold program is designed for those skaters participating in the Skate Canada Star 4& Higher level. Star 4-Gold skaters train 4 - 5 days per week and participate in competitions and test days through out the year. Star 4-Gold skaters have developed a skill set that allows them to work independently during their practice sessions. They will participate in group lessons, off-ice classes and will receive private lessons from our coaching team. STAR 4-GOLD skaters will also perform in our year end ice show 'Spring Fling'.
