There was a StarSkate Coaching Course held by Skate Canada Manitoba over the weekend at the PCU Centre.

Brandon Figure Skating Coach Tammy McKay helped run the course, and says it's a big day for those interested in teaching figure skating.

"It is there first level in their certification with Skate Canada, beyond the CanSkate course."

Future coaches turned out from as far away as The Pas and Moosejaw, and McKay says they're an important bunch.

"This is the future of our sport. These coaches are keen and passionate with our sport, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the process of furthering their education."

She outlines what went on over the weekend.

"Free skating, skills dance, pair skating, synchronized skating, we'll be covering it all. We'll be doing on ice work, as well as off ice."

The Camp wrapped up YESTERday morning.
