Our competitive pairs program combines world-class coaching, and a culture of excellence to help athletes reach their full potential on the international stage. Whether developing the next generation of champions or refining the skills of experienced teams, Skate Oakville continues to set the standard for pairs skating success.

Program Details

The Skate Oakville Pair Program is designed for elite level pair teams and individuals who have previously competed pairs at a high level.

This program provides specialized training in all aspects of pair skating, including lifts, twists, throws, death spirals, side-by-side elements, and choreography. It also supports individual athletes who are seeking a partner, offering them the opportunity to build and refine the technical and performance skills to maintain their pair train while without a partner.

Training takes place weekdays during the day, providing a focused environment for athletes dedicated to advancing their pair skating careers. Skaters will work with highly experienced coaches and benefit from on- and off-ice training tailored to the demands of competitive pairs at the national, and international levels.

The Pair Program is ideal for motivated skaters pursuing high-performance goals in a collaborative and supportive training atmosphere.
