SYNCHRONIZED SKATING
Synchronized skating or "Synchro" is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of eight or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circle, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow. Our Hazelridge Highlights synchro teams compete provincially and regionally.
