Competitive Singles

Competitive Levels and Criteria  

The Competitive Singles programs are by invitation only. Should you be interested in pursuing competitive skating, please speak to your coach directly. Skaters from outside our club will likely need to arrange a meeting before being offered a spot in the program, please email office@skateoakville.ca and we will forward this on to the appropriate coach. Skaters will participate in specific training days each week. Skaters must be invited to the next level of programming before being able to register.
