Welcome to the fantastic team sport of Synchronised Ice Skating. This is a great team sport that involves between 4 and 24 skaters doing manoeuvres on the ice to music. It is great for fitness, socialising and gaining ice skating competence.

How much does it cost?

We are very lucky to be able to offer you a full hour of coaching for $20 however this covers the ice time cost as well. Fees are payable by the first Saturday each month. $80 for months with four Saturdays and $100 a month for months with five Saturdays. However if you wish

to just give it a try to help you to decide whether to join our Team then we only charge you

$8 for a half hour try out.

When do we skate?

Training for all levels is presently conducted on-ice starting at 10.15am and finishing at 11.15am . Skaters are advised to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to training to warm up by jogging, skipping or walking at a fast pace for 3-5 minutes, then stretching for 3-5 minutes

before tying up skates and preparing to get onto the ice.

What to wear

Until you decide if you want to join the Team we advise that you wear something comfortable that does not inhibit your range of movement. Dangly earrings and jewellery which could get caught on clothing or scratch other people should be avoided. Gloves should not be worn

either as we need to get a firm grip for some of our manouevres. We do have a uniform which equips you with a dress (female skaters) or pants (male skaters), a vest and tights (females only) or shirt (males only).

Please refer to Uniform Policy Females or Uniform Policy Males for details of our present policy on Uniforms.
