***Mooredale SC Pro-Rated Price Structure

Our pro-rated price program is offered competitive and advanced level sports, i.e., Rep Development Soccer Program (RDP) Soccer.

We DO NOT offer prorating of fees for our other Sports Programs.

By doing this we look to help bridge the gap between Recreational programs and Development programs while giving players a more structured environment.

Commitment Level

There are no make up dates or consequences for missed sessions. We recognize that there will be absences due to vacations and other commitments however there will be no fee adjustment for any missed time.

Program Information:

  1. If your child is attending the lessons regularly a visible improvement in their skating skills will occur throughout the session.
  2. Class ratios are between 5:1 and 9:1, depending on skating ability
  3. Tips for how to determine proper skate sizes and the type of gear best suited for skating lessons can be found here
  4. To maximize your child’s learning, it is recommended that they skate 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes outside of the regular lesson time
  5. Parents/caregivers are not permitted on the ice (and are asked not to interact with their child during the instruction time, this is distracting for the child, the instructor and the other children in the group).  However, a caregiver must remain on site during the lesson.
  6. Any questions can be directed to your child’s instructor, or the Head Instructor, at the end of the session.

Class DescriptionPlease note:  Due to insurance and safety concerns, All skaters are required to wear a CSA approved helmet, and all skaters under 18 must have a face mask/face guard and chin strap while on the ice.


Beginner Levels (ages 3 and up): 
 This program is designed for children who skate with assistance or can not getup after falling.  Whether children are skating for the first time, have minimal experience, or just wish to advance their current skating skills, this program is a fun and exciting opportunity.  The participants will begin with basic skills and  advance as much as possible.  Games and toys will be used to motivate skaters.  The classes are instructed by experienced and caring instructors.   For the first few weeks, children may not skate for the whole 45 minutes, time on ice will be determined based on skill development at the discretion of the head instructor.  The minimum class time is 25 minutes.  Children in these classes should be comfortable doing activities without their parent/caregiver.

Intermediate Levels (all ages):  To take part in this program skaters must be able to stop and skate backwards, with little or no difficulty.  Skills taught are designed to challenge skaters who may be interested in hockey, figure skating or in improving as a recreational skater.  Skaters who aspire to more advanced levels will find this program challenging and stimulating.

Basic Hockey Skills:  Skaters who wish to start learning the skills associated with hockey can bring along their sticks and learn to pass and shoot.  Basic skills of the game (passing and shooting) will be taught along regular skating instruction.
