SYNCHROSKATE (with Team Unity)

 

Synchronized skating, or "synchro" is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music, while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Skate Canada’s SynchroSkate program includes a number of Synchronized Skating categories which accommodate skaters at any age and skill level.

We have both adult and youth teams skating under the Team Unity name:

  • Star 4 Beginner
  • Star 4 Pre-Juvenile
  • Juvenile
  • Pre-Novice
  • Intermediate
  • Open
  • Adult 1
  • Adult 2
  • Adult 3

Our youth teams practice on Thursday evenings, with the exception of the Juvie and Intermediate team which practice Sunday evenings in Stratford at the Rotary Complex.  

For more information about our Team Unity synchro teams, please visit our Team Unity website, or our Facebook page.
