Synchro Teams

We currently have over 60 figure skaters in our synchronized skating program.

There are 4 travel competitive teams and one house team that performs at club events.

The travel teams competed at the Aspire, 1, 2, 4 & Pre Juvenile levels this year

Competition Synchro Team tryouts will take place in the afternoon at Cabin John on Sunday, August 23 from 1:45-4:45pm. Below is the detailed information for each team we hope to field. Please remember that level requirements may be subject to change based on the number of skaters we can accept for each team and the ever-changing requirements for US Figure Skating. The Summer Skating Clinic, August 17-21, will be great preparation for skaters for tryouts.

If you haven’t already registered for travel synchro, please do so at the link below to receive synchro announcements and updates. This will be updated soon!!

Skaters will be selected for teams based on age, ability, and performance. Please keep in mind that not all skaters will be selected for the team they try out for. It is important that your skaters practice their skills throughout the spring and summer so that they can show off their best at tryouts. This will help us to place your skater correctly and will ensure that your skater is comfortable on the ice and in their skates.
