Synchro Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need previous skating experience before signing up for Synchro?

Yes, Skaters must be passed Stage 3 of the CanSkate program to participate in our Intro to Synchro Program.

Will Synchro distract from singles skating?

Not at all. Our synchro program is an add on, meaning you are still required to continue with your single skating. Synchro skating focuses on developing edges, power and flow which will enhance your skating skills.

How much singles skating am I required to do?

See the EDGE 2017-2018  Session Requirements

Do you have to try out for the Synchro team?

Yes, everyone must attend try outs each year to be on a synchro team. Try outs are in the early spring (usually April/May). Times and locations will be posted early March. If you have missed the try outs for the upcoming season and wish to inquire about any available spots, please contact our Synchro Director: Jennifer O’Brien – jobrien116@ me.com

What do the Synchro fees include?

Fees include ice time, coaching, monitoring sessions, simulations, competitions entries and wardrobe. Any additional fees such as travel will be the responsibility of the skater.

What is the withdrawal deadline for the Synchro session?

The refund and withdrawal deadline is September 1st. Withdrawals prior to September 1st may be eligible for minor refunds depending on the time of year, the team, and how much planning has already been done for the season. The deposit is non refundable at any time for any reason.

What if I have to miss a practice?

You must inform your coach if you will be missing a practice. Due to limited practice time, it is highly recommended that all skaters strive for 100% attendance.
