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.

We are pleased to announce Pairs Program structure for the upcoming 2019-20 skating season. There are two types of registration. An all inclusive package for skaters training in the program full time and a “pay as you go” card for skaters training in the Oakville Pairs Program on a part time basis.

Please note that participation in the Pairs Program on either part time or full time basis is by invite only and is at the sole discretion of Bruno Marcotte and Meagan Duhamel.

All Inclusive

All inclusive registration includes ice time, group lessons, lift classes, flex-a-fit classes and essentrics.  Actual schedules will be determined by Bruno and Meagan.  All inclusive pairs fees are $525 per skater per month plus the annual membership fees.  Membership fees consist of $44 Skate Canada fee (if applicable), $50 Skate Oakville fee, and an $80 Skate Ontario Skater Lottery fundraising fee.

When registering the program cost will be displayed as $3,675, but the system is set up for monthly installments of $525 a month starting September 1^st.   The membership fees totaling $174 are charged at registration.  Please let us know via email (office@skateoakville.ca) if you are not registering with Skate Canada and we will remove this charge.

Pay as you go

Skaters invited to pairs sessions on a part time basis may buy a card with 25 “Pairs Credits”.  We will keep the card in the office and mark off credits as follows:

• On ice session – 1 credit
• On ice group – 2 credits
• Off ice lift lesson – 1 credit
• Off ice flex-a-fit – 1 credit
• Off ice essentrics – 1 credit

The card will be available to check whenever the office is open, and you will be emailed when it is empty. Skaters are to sign in at the office in the binder specific to Pairs. Cards are $500 and are available both online in purchase other products section of website and in person at the office. Please note that Bruno and Meagan will determine the times when you will be able to participate in the program based on availability.

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.
