Hazelridge Highlights Synchro Team Opportunity

Seeking skaters for an Intermediate Synchronized Skating team! Skaters must have reached the age of 13 but have not reached the age of 19 as of July 1st, 2019.  

Try-Outs at the Hazelridge Sports Complex: Sunday, September 22: 3:50-5:00 pm Tuesday, September 24: 5:00-6:00 pm 

Building on the momentum and success from last season, this team’s goal is to qualify for, and attend the ​Canadian Synchronized Skating Championships in Calgary in February 2020! We need a minimum of 12 skaters to form the team. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced Star Skaters to join synchro and compete at a high level. Skaters should have good skating fundamentals and be working on Star 4-Gold tests. Practices: Sundays 3:50-5:00 pm, every other Tuesday 5:00-6:00 pm and weekly off-ice alternating before and after Sunday practices. Practice schedule to be confirmed monthly.  Coaches: Jessica Watson (skating coach, life coach and yoga instructor) and Karen Ballinger (skating coach, technical specialist and former Team Canada 1 competitor).  Synchro is a fun and dynamic team discipline that incorporates aspects of freeskate, pairs and dance into a group performance. Skaters learn about working together, performance, precise skating skills, stability and control, and skating close with others.
