Competitive Synchro
Skating together as one.
Synchronized skating is a team sport where skaters move in perfect unison, combining precision, speed, and artistry to create mesmerizing performances on the ice. It is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in figure skating, but still relatively young on the international stage.
Synchro stands out on the ice for its intricate patterns. Classic formations like wheels, circles, blocks, and lines require every skater to move in perfect unison. Skaters use facial expressions and body movements to convey emotion, creating a powerful narrative that captivates the audience from start to finish. Every detail matters when delivering a show-stopping performance. Music sets the mood, costumes add character, and fierce choreography unites every element into a seamless, fluid display of talent.
RSST is currently home to three adult level synchronized skating teams and is working to rebuild its youth program. If you are interested in joining a team please reach out to rsstcommunications@gmail.com
