Eastern Ontario Synchronized Skating
Synchronized skating, a large and fast-growing discipline, consists of 8—20 (the number of skaters on a team often depends on the level) athletes skating on ice at one time moving as one flowing unit at high speed. This discipline of figure skating was originally called precision skating in North America because of the emphasis on maintaining precise formations and timing of the group. 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. The team performs a program set to music, with required formations including circles, lines, blocks, wheels, and intersections.Skate Canada’s SynchroSkate program offers adult skaters the opportunity to participate in the discipline as well. With three adult categories, skaters of all skill levels and experience may join a team and compete at various club, interclub, invitational and regional competitions.
In Canada there is one event stream of Synchronized Skating and teams may register for the season in the following levels: * Beginner I * Beginner II * Elementary * Juvenile * Pre-Novice * Novice * Intermediate * Open * Junior * Senior * Adult I * Adult II * Adult III
Specific technical requirements have been determined for each level based on skill development and age restrictions. There are no test prerequisites to participate on any level of Synchro team.
