Synchronized skating is a team sport that provides opportunities for skaters of all ages and abilities. Eight to sixteen skaters perform a choreographed program set to music, completing elements such as blocks, lines, wheels, circles and intersections. Synchro also enhances the development of singles skaters because it focuses heavily on skating skills, edge quality, power, speed, carriage and performance.
Ice Unite synchro teams generally compete at three to four competitions (December, January, February. March) each season, as well as performing at ice shows or other events. All skaters on a Silver Blades synchro team must skate at least two individual sessions per week at their qualified level, in addition to synchro practices and commitments.
