WEYBURN — The Weyburn Skating Club is preparing to welcome skaters of all ages and skill levels back to the ice. Registration is currently open for its fall and winter programs, offering opportunities from first-time gliders to advanced competitors.
Diana Hay, a representative of the club, encourages all interested families to sign up soon to secure a spot.
The club’s PreCan/CanSkate Fall Session are set for two 10-week sessions. The fall session beings Oct. 2 and the winter sessions starts Jan. 6.
Hay said the Pre-CanSkate program is designed for children three to five years of age who have never skated before or are not yet confident on the ice.
“This program teaches children the basics of getting up when they fall down, how to move forward, basic backward movement and how to stop,” said Hay.
For older beginners, the CanSkate program is a dynamic, nationally-certified learn-to-skate program that focuses on fun, participation and basic skill development.
“CanSkate uses nationally-tested and proven curriculum and delivery methods that guarantee skater success in developing stronger basic skills and developing them faster,” said Hay.
StarSkate and Junior Development season runs Oct. 6 - March 25, 2026. StarSkate Junior Development session is subject to cancellation due to low registration, said Hay.
“We will notify parents if this happens.”
It is open to all disciplines, including hockey, figure skating, and ringette. Participants must have passed Stage 2 CanSkate or have been selected by one of our Skate Canada Professional Coaches to join.
The StarSkate and Junior Development programs operate on a base fee structure. The $900 fee includes two hours of on ice time, group sessions, stroking and off ice, and skating fees. Additional ice-time hours can be added. An additional hour per week for the duration of the skating season is $400 and includes ice time only. Additional lesson time would be billed to the skater.
Hay said the skating club needs coaches and sponsors.
“We are looking for coaches for junior development and StarSkate,” she said. “We are also looking for sponsors to help out with our ice fees, coaching fees, coaches mileage, testing fees and other administration items like training and such for the coaches.”
