STARSkate

STARSkate at Skate Oakville is the foundation of our figure skating programs, offering athletes the opportunity to develop their skills in a supportive and challenging environment. Participants have access to both group lessons, taught by our club coaches and private lessons, where they can hire a professional coach for individual instruction. This combination allows athletes to improve at their own pace while receiving expert guidance. Whether your child is aiming to compete, join a synchro team, or simply reach their personal best, Skate Oakville’s STARSkate program provides the structure, coaching, and support they need to succeed.
