ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Registration deadline: 11:45pm on Saturday, January 8
The CRSC has decided to run complimentary off-ice classes for the skaters during the holiday break! This will be an excellent opportunity to re-build physical, social, emotional connections to the sport they love.
You are strongly encouraged to sign your skater up. Dates, times, location and what to bring are indicated in the Session Details below. Should you have any questions or concerns contact Rory by email: director@skatecampbellriver.ca Thank you in advance for helping to support your coach with your skaters development.

The 2021 S2+ Goal Setting Package is must be completed by 5pm on Saturday, September 18th. Should you require an extension please email the Director of Programs.
We are appreciative that you have chosen to train with us at the Campbell River Skating Club. This package outlines requirements, strategies and plans that aid your athlete in reaching their own goals.

Should you be unable to attend an email must be sent to director@skatecampbellriver.ca to make other arrangements. Off-Ice Program Overview
General Information Skate Canada outlines requirements that clubs must abide by through mandated Program Delivery Standards that affect both off and on-ice curriculum. As such, off-ice training is compulsory to athletes in most programs as part of the CRSC “athlete first, skater second” philosophy. Junior Academy Off-Ice (JA/S1) Junior Academy participants explore all facets of off-ice program curriculum. Priority is placed on increasing flexibility as well as the acquisition of jump & spin tech. Class length is shorter. Parents should support their athletes by encouraging them to practice what they have learned off the ice at home. Dynamic Warm-Up (W/U) Athletes who warm their bodies up off the ice are far more likely to have a more positive and productive on-ice training session. Skaters will increase their knowledge on both generic and individual sport specific warm-up concepts. This class will place emphasis on generating dynamic warm-up routines to enable athletes to warm-up on their own. Core Stability (CORE) The core is the centre of the body and one of the most important muscle groups for any athlete. Abdominal, back and oblique muscle training will be taught to skaters as they develop an increased awareness of how they can strengthen their core naturally throughout the day. Among other progress enhancing technical benefits, an “in shape” core will help athletes breathe easier when performing under pressure by increasing posture awareness and confidence. Flexibility & Range of Motion (FLEX) Athletes will learn proper stretching techniques that will be applied daily to their training sessions to prevent injury. Increasing on-ice range of motion and flexibility is of critical importance in figure skating and opportunities to make gains are significantly higher off the ice. Skaters will be required to supplement scheduled off-ice FLEX sessions with their own individual practice. Agility, Plyometrics & Strength (PLYO) Agility training develops quick movements, explosive leg power and overall performance capacity for many technical elements. Plyometrics and strength in figure skating often involves increasing jumping ability (height and distance). Training tools such as skaters own body weight, agility ladders, bosu balls, swiss balls, medicine balls, balance boards and resistance bands may be used. Jump & Spin Tech (TECH) Technical classes “fast track” athletes ability to pick up positions and timing which leads to correct muscle memory on the ice. Jump preps, take offs, rotation drills and landings are all emphasized. Spin positions are both acquired and enhanced as repetitions increase Clothing & Equipment Requirements It is important that the athletes be prepared for their off-ice session by ensuring they are wearing (or have) the following:
