OAKVILLE EDGE SYNCHRONIZED SKATING TEAMS
Synchronized Skating is a dynamic team-based sport which provides skaters with the opportunity to advance their skills by working with a team. Teams typically consist of 8-20 skaters, executing a program in unison to an energetic musical selection.
The Oakville Skating Club, through the Oakville Edge, offers Synchronized Skating Programs for skaters in the CanSkate and STARSkate programs. Please view our website www.oakvilleedge.org or contact us at info@oakvilleedge.org for more information.
The Intro-to-Synchro program is aimed at skaters in CanSkate Stages 4 to 6 as well as young skaters who may be trying Synchro for the first time. The Beginner I program is aimed at skaters in STARSkate I and who are up to 10 years of age. Intro and Beginner I skaters are coached for the entire 50 minutes, once per week.
THE SYNCHRONIZED SKATING SEASON
The Oakville Edge season starts in April with on-ice Open Houses geared towards matching new members with the appropriate team within our organization. There are five levels of teams:Intro , Beginner I, Beginner II, Elementary, and Juvenile.
After the upcoming season's teams are formed, weekly practices are held in May and June for stroking and to develop Synchro Skills.
After Labour Day, choreography camp is held. This is a weekend event, combining on-ice and off-ice sessions with the purpose of building the team and developing the upcoming season's program.
Regular practices start in October which combine off-ice program run-throughs and fitness with on-ice skill building and program development.
The competition season is kicked-off with the annual photo day and Gala. The Gala is an exciting event on November 28 that includes all Oakville Edge teams exhibiting their programs with various guest teams skating as well.
Competitions occur between December and March with the season wrapping up just before March Break.
