Chiller Synchro Try It clinics are a wonderful opportunity to try U.S. Figure Skating’s team sport!

Synchronized skating, the fastest-growing discipline of U.S. Figure skating, is a unique sport that combines individual skills with the power of teamwork. It's a thrilling experience that teaches focus, discipline, and camaraderie. We'd love for you to be a part of it at our clinic.

Teams of 8-20 skaters performing challenging steps and formations compete using the same judging system as singles, pairs, and ice dancers.

Come spend an hour on the ice with our adult or Learn To Skate synchro teams, making friends and practicing skills. This is a great opportunity to spend an hour on the ice with other adults or Learn To Skate level skaters in an encouraging and supportive environment.

encourages camaraderie and long term participation in skating.

“Our daughter has always been very quiet and shy, and skating in front of a crowd seemed like an unbelievable goal for our 8-year-old! She has surpassed all of our expectations. When she skated in her first show, the smile on her face and her chin held high was an unbelievable sight! Skating synchro has brought our daughter out of her shell!”

Synchronized Team Skating Explained...

Synchronized Team Skating is the fastest growing component of figure skating combining elements of ballet, ice dancing and pairs skating into an exciting on ice performance. A well-balanced program includes circles, lines, blocks, wheels, and intersections. The emphasis is on the accuracy of formations and synchronization of the team.

Synchronized Skating brought the team concept to a sport that was focused on singles and pairs. It is this team aspect that encourages camaraderie and long term participation in skating. In addition, because "Synchro" is one of the few co-ed sports, it has drastically expanded participation opportunities in skating. Synchro is a challenging and thrilling sport!

Teams consist of 8-24 skaters who must develop and master the basics of skating in order to execute difficult formations with speed and accuracy. Skaters strive for continuous movement requiring smooth transitions, intricate footwork and difficult turns.

All skaters are expected to maintain and improve individual skills throughout the synchronized skating season through consistent practice and private or group lessons.

Our Mission

Under the guidance of highly qualified coaches, Chiller Synchro strives to foster a sense of team spirit, placing an emphasis on skill development and participation in a fun and supportive environment.

This will be accomplished by encouraging teamwork and sportsmanship while supporting individual skaters as they seek to achieve their unique potential.
