CAMBRIDGE ICE ANGELS

Maybe your child would like an extra day of skating to improve their skills. A synchronized skating team such as our Cambridge Ice Angels, is an option you could look into. This is a team sport similar to synchronized swimming. All levels of skaters welcome! For more information on the synchro team, please email coach Patty.

Synchronized Skating

Synchronized skating, or "synchro" is a specialized discipline of skating involving groups of twelve or more skaters performing various group formations and maneuvers. The objective is for the team to perform as one unit executing circles, blocks, lines, wheels and intersections in unison to the music, while demonstrating quality edges, power and flow.
There are two event streams of Synchronized Skating in Canada – a recreational or Festival SynchroSkate and Competitive SynchroSkate. Both of these streams can lead a team to national level events. There is international and World Championship opportunity provided to those teams in the Competitive SynchroSkate (qualifying) event stream.

Festival SynchroSkate

Festival SynchroSkate provides recreational synchronized skating teams the opportunity to qualify for National level competition in a program specifically designed to meet the needs of this type of team and skater.
Festival SynchroSkate was introduced into Skate Canada programming in 2000, with the first National Festival SynchroSkate held in April 2001. Currently over 400 Festival teams participate at all levels in each of the 13 Skate Canada Sections. With smaller team numbers, no test pre-requisites, and more lenient age restrictions many Skate Canada clubs are finding it feasible to field one or more teams in the Festival stream. It also provides further competitive opportunity for athletes who choose not to be involved in the qualifying event stream of synchronized skating.

For families needing financial assistance for their skater under the age of 16, Kids Can Play is an organization which may provide help. For more information, contact the club office or email kcpcambridge@yahoo.com
