Our goal is to place every participant in an environment where they can be safe, challenged, and successful.
For Learn to Skate, start with the right age group (ages 3-6 or 7-12), then the skill level (Level 1, 2, 3). Participants may be moved to a more appropriate group based on their progress. If you’re unsure where to start, choose the program that best matches your child’s current ability — or begin with a Try program when available — and our team will help confirm the right fit.
For Skills & Drills, register within the appropriate age group (ages 4-8 or 9-14) first. At most Canlan Sports complexes, participants will be organized by skill level on the ice depending on the skill focus of the week. For complexes with skill-level specific groups (beginner, intermediate, advanced), please contact the Youth League and Program Manager for guidance on which group will be best for your child.
