Competitive Pairs

Competitive Levels and Criteria  

COMPETITIVE PAIRS – by invitation

The competitive pairs program includes on and off ice pairs sessions and the continual development of individual skating skills.  Skaters wishing to participate in the competitive pairs program should contact Skate Oakville directly.

INTRO TO COMPETITIVE DANCE AND PAIRS

NEW this season is the Intro dance and Pairs session.  This session is for skaters interested in pursuing competitive dance and/or pairs. The program is taught by members of our dance and pair coaching team.  Skaters will be introduced to the technical aspects of skating with a partner, including timing, spacing, tracking and other partner skills.  Skaters do NOT need a partner for this session but may be partnered with a skater for specific skill development.

Competitive Fees, Policies & Refund Info

Fees

Competitive fees are based on the length of the session, how many weeks the session runs, and whether or not any coaching is included on the session, or if off ice training is included in the package.

Mandatory Membership Fees

1. The Skate Canada (SC) Fee of $44 is only charged once per year (Sep 1 to Aug 31) and pays for your SC membership and insurance. We forward this fee on to SC on your behalf. The SC Fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.
2. The Skate Oakville membership fee of $50 is only charged once per year (Sep 1 to Aug 31) and entitles you to skating on Skate Oakville sessions.
3. The Ontario Skaters' Promotional Contest Ticket Booklets at a cost of $80 is our annual fundraiser.  Two ticket booklets are included with your registration at a cost of $80. You may sell the raffle tickets to family and friends and keep the money as you have already paid for the booklets. Alternatively you may enter yourself into the raffle and fill out all the tickets with your name. The ticket stubs are due back by Dec 31 so they can be mailed in to be included in the draw. The draw takes place at the Provincials competition in March.
