There are many reasons! Being part of a community, accomplishing goals with your team and learning skills that will prepare you for life after skating are just a few of the benefits of joining a synchronized skating team. Our athletes become like a family and support each on and off the ice! Many of our skaters build lasting friendships with each other. In addition to having a support network, skating on a synchro team helps skaters strengthen their individual skills and as an Ice Emeralds skater, we place a strong emphasis on improving speed and power, leg extension and expression while performing. All of these skills work to improve individual skating helping our athletes be more successful in testing and competing individually! So not only will your skaters have fun and make friends, they’ll also become better skaters through synchro.
