How is STAR 1-5 training delivered, and how much is coach-directed?

Question

Accepted Answer

Skate Canada's STAR 1-5 minimum delivery standards say:

A coach (NCCP Regional Coach In-training or higher) must be on the ice at all times, and coaches teaching STAR 1-5 must wear skates.
Coach-directed time must be at least 75% for STAR 1-2, 50% for STAR 3-4 and 25% for STAR 5. At least 25% of training time must be in a class format.
At least 90% of skaters should be moving during all session time.
Every session has a set warm-up and cool-down plan, and each skater gets one-on-one attention during lesson time.
Clubs must hold at least one parent information or interaction session per season.

The 2025-26 season reminders add that clubs must provide at least 25% of class time to STAR 1-5 skaters.
