Trillium Skating Academy was developed in order to make it easier and more affordable for all children to learn how to skate. TSA is a great starting point for children who want to learn whether it be for recreational purposes or to play hockey, ringette, or figure skate.
?Many families simply cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars and travel all over the city to have their five-year old to learn how to skate,? said Lisa.
TSA helps to solve that problem by offering programs with no membership fees or fundraising and by offering year-round programming at a variety of locations throughout the tri-cities. Skaters who progress through the Kinder Skate and Youth Skate programs can advance on to such classes as Intro-to-Hockey, Ringette or Figure Skating. These programs are offered in private, semi-private and small groups.
Trillium Skating Academy is committed to ensuring that the leadership of its programs is of the highest quality. Leader candidates demonstrate: a keen interest in, and experience working with children; an understanding of the various aspects of child development; a caring attitude when working with children and recognized certification in first-aid. TSA?s coaches are NCCP certified and registered members of the Coaches Association of Ontario with a variety of skating backgrounds including figure skating, hockey, and ringette.
?We are anticipating a very busy fall season as more people in the tri-cities get to know about who Trillium Skating Academy is. Our programs offer something very new to the skating world, and once parents see how much fun their kids are having, while staying active and learning some important life skills, I think they will be very excited to enroll their kids in our programs,? said Lisa.
