Synchronised Skating
Social, fun & challenging
If you’re looking for something different that is social, fun and challenging, synchronised skating may be for you!
Synchronised skating is a large and fast-growing discipline of figure skating where 8-16 (the number of skaters on a team depends on the level) skaters skate on ice as a team, moving as one flowing unit at high speeds while completing difficult footwork. For a synchronised team to flow in unison, individual skaters must be competent at a variety of skating skills, including speed, footwork and ice presence.
