Over the past 26 years, the Juan de Fuca Skating Club has had a strong and
well-established synchronized skating program accessible to all ages and skill

levels of skaters, with multiple levels of competitive teams, such as Pre-Juvenile, Juvenile,

Pre-Novice, Novice, Junior, Open and Adult.  These teams have competed locally, provincially,

and nationally.

 

The goals of the club’s synchro programs are to: 

• Teach the basic fundamentals of synchronized skating skills while continuing to foster skater development in individual skating skills

• Over time, advance from learning to train to training to compete

• Promote continued active healthy lifestyles in the sport of figure skating

What is Synchronized Skating?

 

 

Synchronized skating, or “synchro” is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of six 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. Synchronized Skating has grown in popularity around the world as it provides a great place for skaters to become part of a team and skate for life. 

 

Synchronized skating promotes teamwork, cooperation and good sportsmanship which are essential for strong team performances. Synchro skating also builds confidence and self-esteem in skaters by working through a difficult goal as a team, due to hard work, determination, and cooperation in a safe and fun environment.
