SKATING LESSONS & PROGRAMS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES PRESCHOOL 3-5 YEARS

BOOTS TO BLADES A class for preschoolers with very little or no skating experience. All children wear ice grips (available at skate shop) for the first class, skates for the second class. They will learn the basics of ice safety and to stand and walk by themselves in a learn through play environment.

SNOWFLAKES (Formerly Mites)An introductory level class designed for children who have passed/or are capable of passing Boots to Blades. We offer a friendly approach and a low child-teacher ratio. Little ones will learn how to balance and glide, the basics of backward skating and cone patterns.

SNOWBALL (New Level) This level is where little ones build their confidence and control. Skills focus on improving speed while staying safe. Basic stops, scooping and sculling will be taught to improve skating edges.

ICICLES (Formerly Gnats)Once your child has passed Snow Ball, he or she is ready to learn more technical skating skills: push to glide with weight transfer, improved balance and edges, confident stops, and forward cross overs.

ICEBERGS (Formerly Mosquitoes)An advanced skating level for the accomplished preschool skater. They will improve forward and backward skating strokes, stopping, forward and backward crossovers and edge control. These talented little people are encouraged to extend their abilities with this intro to power skating-type class.

Outdoor Basketball Lights In November 2007 West Shore Parks & Recreation received $25,000 of funding from the Bell Community Sport Fund. These funds along with $8000 from the Paul Valentine Memorial Fund, and $16,000 from KidSport Greater Victoria raised enough funds to install lights at the outdoor Paul Valentine Memorial Basketball courts located at the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre.

The lights were installed July 2008 and are turned on during 6-10 PM during the winter months.

Eight years ago, I decided I wanted to work on my swimming skills and started to come to Juan de Fuca Pool. I began by taking private lessons and have graduated to swimming on my own. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and I always enjoy myself at the Pool. It is a wonderful environment to exercise in and I recommend it to all my friends.

Positive Movtivation When life puts up blocks in front of us, or attempts to weigh us down with details, we begin to get tired and frustrated and lose motivation or drive to carry on. Motivation seems like an elusive entity that must be sought after, obtained and corralled for personal success and well-being. Motivation is a natural state of mind and I will show you how to have motivation that turns on as soon as your feet hit the floor in the morning.
