STARSkate is an acronym for:

Skills, Tests, Achievement and Recognition! 

STARSkate covers the 5 disciplines:

3. FreeSkate

5. Synchro

StarSkaters Require: 

• Properly fitted skates that provide good ankle support. 
• Layered clothing that allows for movement and warmth.
• Fitted jackets and athletic pants are recommended. 

Hair 

• Long hair should be tied back, with bangs secured away from the eyes. 
• Coaches and Judges wants to see your face, and you want to stay safe by seeing what's happening on the ice.

Getting Ready for the Ice

It is recommended to arrive 15-30 minutes before ice time for off-ice preparation, to: 

• Warm up (running, skipping rope, etc.)
• Complete dryland exercises (jumps, spins, spirals, and more)
• Get dressed and change into dry socks
• Put on skates
• Connect with friends and enjoy time with fellow skaters

Skate Sharpening 

A good rule of thumb is to sharpen your skates every 15-20 hours of ice time.

If you are participating in an assessment or competition, have your skates sharpened at least one week before to allow time to get comfortable with the freshly sharpened blades.
