SYNCHRONIZED SKATING

Synchronized skating consists of 10-20 athletes skating on ice at one time, moving as one flowing unit. The team performs a program set to music, often with required elements which include circles, lines, blocks, wheels, and intersections at the most basic level.  Coaches focus on teaching the importance of being a team member, as well as the knowledge and skills needed to be a synchronized skater. 

One of the main goals for the team is to learn and perform a program by the end of the season, (may have performance in the winter) so commitment from the skater and parents is important for the team’s development.

Bird Arena is proud to host the Ohio University Synchronized Skating Team.  The team consists of OU students as well as high school students who take post-secondary classes at the university.
