SYNCHRONIZED SKATING

What is synchronized ice skating?

Synchronized ice skating (synchro skating for short) is a large and fast-growing discipline of figure skating where a squad of 8-16 (the number of skaters on a team depends on the level) skaters perform on ice as a team, moving as one flowing unit at high speeds while completing difficult footwork.

For a synchronized team to flow in unison, individual skaters must be competent at a variety of skating skills, including speed, footwork and ice presence.

We’re now taking enrolments for Synchronized Development!

How to get involved with synchronized ice skating

We run a Synchronized Development course once per year, usually in December/January, in preparation for the upcoming season. There is a course for skaters aged 6-15, and one for skaters aged 16+.

Skaters do need to have a solid grasp of ice skating, and should have passed the Advanced level in our Learn to Skate program.

At the beginning of each season in February, Ice Synchro WA hold tryout days, where skaters can be invited to join a team!

Depending on your age, you could be invited to join:

  • Fireflies (development)
  • Bees (15 and under)
  • Cohesion Mixed (16-29)
  • Cohesion Adult Basic (30+)

More advanced skaters or skaters from interstate/overseas will be invited to join other teams.
