Synchro
Six teams, 5 golds, one silver at 2010 provincials
Synchronised skating is ideal for skaters interested in a team activity. Basic maneuvers, formations and transitions are taught
in a social, team atmosphere. There are recreational and competitive opportunities for skaters who master the fundamental skills of synchro skating.
Synchro is the fastest growing team sport in the country, where teams of 12 to 20 skaters perform synchronised skating routines. Our teams have had great success; in 2009-2010 our six teams yielded five provincial champions, and our intermediate team competed at the national championships.
In 2009-10, the board adopted a policy for synchro teams, coaches, skaters, and parents
