Inspiring The Future on Skates

Newmarket Skating Club

2026–2027 Skating Season Schedule & Registration Information

The 2026–2027 season schedule has now been published! It will hit the website Tuesday August 4th

Dryland will be offered Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday evenings

Schedule to be posted later this week, we are firming up what days we have specialty instructors.

Skating Level Requirements

There will be one year of grandfathering for skaters who do not yet meet the new level requirements.

What this means: If you skated Silver last season, you may continue to skate Silver this season, even if you do not yet meet the updated requirements.

Level Requirements

Gold

  • Must have 3 double jumps

Silver A

  • Must have 1–2 double jumps

Silver B

  • Must be landing Flip through Axel

Bronze

  • Must have Waltz Jump, Salchow, and Toe Loop
  • Working on Loop or Flip

Pre-Bronze

  • Intro to Figure Skating

Skating Up or Down

Skaters may skate down a level if they choose. For example, a Gold-level skater may register for Silver A or Silver B sessions.

However, skaters cannot skate up unless they meet the required qualifications.

If a skater achieves the necessary qualifications during the season, they may move up to a higher level during the season, provided they meet the requirements and there is space available in the session.

New This Season

Sunday Edge Session

Our new Sunday Edge session will begin by focusing on Figures on clean ice. As the season progresses, the session will transition to Turns on full ice, allowing skaters to isolate and improve their edge quality and turning technique.

Sunday Dance & Skills Session

We are also introducing a dedicated Dance & Skills session on Sundays. This session will allow skaters to progress through their Skills and Dance tests, with evaluations taking place throughout the season during regular session time.

Pricing

Pricing is currently being finalized and will be announced shortly now that the schedule has been published.

Important Registration Information

It is essential that you speak with your coach before registering to ensure you are signing up for the correct sessions.

To ensure skaters are registered in the appropriate program level, the following qualifications apply:

  • Gold: Skaters must be able to consistently land two different double jumps.
  • Silver A: Skaters must be able to consistently land an Axel.
  • Silver B: Skaters must be able to consistently land a Loop and a Flip, and be actively working on an Axel.

Build Essential Skating Skills – For All Ice Sports

Figure Skating

Skaters develop precise edge work, timing, and strength while learning to combine technical elements with musical interpretation and performance skills.

Hockey or Ringette

Hockey and ringette are exciting ice sports that help skaters develop essential skills including speed, agility, and precise puck or ring control using specialized sticks.

Speed Skating

Skaters build strong leg muscles, cardiovascular fitness, and precise body positioning while learning to maintain maximum speed through turns and straightaways.

Recreational Skating

Participants develop fundamental skating skills while improving core strength and spatial awareness in a relaxed, non-competitive environment.

Our Learn-to-Skate & STAR Skating Programs

Pre-CanSkate is designed for children (ages 3-5yrs), with the focus on helping skaters develop balance and coordination with an emphasis on having fun through the use of music, games and toys.

CanSkate is designed for all ages (although age 5yrs+ is a guideline), with the focus is on fun, participation and basic skill development that can be used for figure skating, hockey, ringette and synchronized skating.

Unique in Canada, this program teaches figure skating skills in a group and/or private lesson format and includes specifically designed awards and incentives. Skaters may take Skate Canada Tests through a nationally standardized testing system.
