Our Club

Skate Oakville focuses on individual and team development at every level of the EDGE Synchronized Skating Program. Skaters from Beginner through to Intermediate learn in a progressive manner indicative to the level of the team.  We also teach the importance of consolidating a solid general physical foundation encompassing speed, strength, endurance and flexibility.

The individual skating skill development of each skater on a synchro team is critical to the overall success of that team.  The EDGE Synchro Program strongly encourages the development of these skills through the various free skate, skills and dance programs. Coaches also encourage team members to develop their off ice fitness and mental training skills, both independently as well as during team training sessions through the season.
