  • The requirements for Intro to Figure Skating are working on Stage 4 or higher.   Skaters that skated in Intro to Figure Skating last year may register again regardless of their Stage level.

New procedure for skaters requiring additional assistance

  • Skaters requiring additional assistance can register in our regular programs.
  • If your skater has any behavioural, physical, emotional, or learning difficulties that require specialized accommodations, please inform the office at Skate Oakville by email at office@skateoakville.ca when you register.

  • Skaters need a CSA-approved hockey helmet for all levels. (Ages 3-4 also need a cage for their helmet)
  • Skaters need to wear mitts/gloves and warm clothing that is easy to move in.  New skaters will want water-resistant pants.
