What is Competitive Skate?

      The Competitive Test Program is a testing program for skaters in singles, pairs and dance wishing to compete in qualifying events within Skate Canada. Skaters take tests specific to the discipline (Singles, Pairs and Dance) in which they wish to compete. A skater or team may begin testing at the level at which they wish to compete.

It's more than just skating!

      Skaters enrolled in Competitive Skate learn a variety of life skills as they progress up the competitive ladder. These include goal settings, focus, ability to deal with success/failure, time management, and principles of fair play and sportsmanship. In addition to the life skills benefits these skaters will also receive:

• Access to provincial and national funding (as applicable)
• The opportunity to be selected to Skate Canada’s national teams
• The opportunity to compete at BMO sectional, Challenge, Junior Nationals and/or Canadian Championships
• The opportunity and potential to be selected to represent Canada internationally at one of the more than 30 competitions each year
