Skating season has begun at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre, with the 100 Mile Figure Skating Club on the ice from Monday through Friday.
Programs began Sept. 10, but the club is still taking registration, says director Janeen L’Heureux.
“There are no late charges. Give us a call and we’ll meet you at the arena, help you fill out the forms and we’ll get your kids on the ice.”
The club offers lessons for all abilities, from the beginners CanSkate learn-to-skate program, which also teaches skating skills necessary for playing hockey, to STARSkate, which prepares skaters for competition.
L’Heureux says they’re always looking for help on the ice and she’d like to hear from people who could assist with coaching.
The figure skating season ends in March, and between now and then, skaters will have a number of opportunities to compete and the entire club will participate at an in-house competition in the spring.
Lesson times for the STARSkate program are Monday, 3:30-5:15 p.m.; Wednesday, 4:30-6 p.m.; and Friday, 3:30-5:45 p.m. CanSkate and Group STAR take to the ice Tuesday and Thursday, 3:30-5:15 p.m.
