Synchro
Synchronized skating adds a dynamic dimension to the world of recreational and competitive skating. An exciting team sport, it involves a group of eight or more skaters who perform intricate patterns as a single unit. Synchro requires commitment, teamwork, and dedication.
As in other figure skating disciplines, both the technical and artistic elements are important. The combination of creative choreography, appealing music and attractive costumes make synchronized skating a great sport for participants and spectators. A focus on fun, participation, friendly competition and lifetime involvement is responsible for synchronized skating's phenomenal growth. Skaters form long-lasting friendships that extend beyond the arena and practices.
Currently Skate Amherstburg fields two teams. The Starlights, a pre-novice team, practice every Wednesday from 7 - 8 pm with an off-ice practice from 6:30 - 7 pm. The Diamond Divas, an adult team, practice every Thursday from 8:10 - 9:20 pm with an off-ice practice from 7:35 - 8:10 pm. Both teams try to compete twice per year, one relatively local and one usually an overnight. Team photos will be posted soon!
