The revisions consist of a new Pre-Power level and the addition of Levels 4, 5 and 6. Pre-Power, developed in response to a large, fast-growing younger power skating market, is designed for young skaters, approximately four to six years of age who can stand up on skates and move forward (shuffle, walk or glide).

The new levels 4, 5 and 6 will place additional focus on the acquisition of efficient technique, speed, agility, technical aspects of stride and acceleration and skating with the puck/ring.
