Programs
Our Lessons
At Little Lemons Sports Inc., we believe that learning should feel joyful, empowering, and full of discovery. Our skating programs are built on the idea that confidence grows when children feel supported, challenged at the right pace, and encouraged to explore what their bodies can do on the ice. Just like a perfect glass of lemonade, our approach blends fun with skill development, because we know kids learn best when they’re smiling.
Our programs follow the natural progression of early skating development and are thoughtfully designed for children of varying ages, abilities, and comfort levels. Each level focuses on three core pillars of movement:
🍋Stability
Helping little skaters feel steady, safe, and confident on their blades.
🍋 Composure
Introducing purposeful movement, coordination, and foundational skating skills.
🍋 Quickness
Building speed, power, and readiness for more advanced skating or sport pathways.
By the end of each program, our Little Lemons graduate with a well‑rounded set of skills that support not only skating, but overall physical literacy. All programs run in 6-week sessions, with 30 ‑ 40 minute lessons, offered at various times throughout the year to accommodate busy family schedules. Skating is a lifelong sport that teaches far more than technique. Patience, participation, perseverance, and pride are just a few of the values children naturally develop on the ice. Whether your child is stepping onto the rink for the very first time or continuing to grow their abilities, every Little Lemon leaves with something meaningful, new skills, new confidence, and memories that last.
Welcome to Little Lemons Sports Inc., where every child can shine, grow, and discover their spark on the ice.

MEET THE TEAM
Kara Agosta, Owner/Head Coach
“Figure skating has always been a passion of mine as well as mentoring, guiding, and being a role model to little ones. If I could pass down anything that I learned to prepare my skaters for success it would bring me great joy. Being a skating coach is so rewarding; my favourite parts are watching their faces light up when accomplishing an element and when they receive their first badges. Skating has always played a huge role in my life, and I hope to ignite the same passion within the students I work with.”
