Synchronized Skating Teams
Become part of the family! Our goal is to develop and strengthen skaters to maximize performance both on and off the ice. With a focus on basic skills, edge quality and power we will maintain a strong force as both national and international competitors known for our sportsmanship, teamwork and pursuit of excellence. Dedication, commitment, time management, cooperation and leadership skills are at the core of each skater as individuals, allowing the team to perform and succeed at the highest level.
The Colonials Synchronized Skating Teams and Team Excel are excited to continue the collaboration for the 2025-2026 synchronized skating season! Together, the two organizations will field a joint Juvenile and Novice team, bringing skaters from across New England together in these nationally recognized divisions!

WHAT IS SYNCHRO
Synchronized skating is a popular discipline both within U.S. Figure Skating and around the world. Synchronized skating is a team sport in which 8-20 skaters perform a program together. It uses the same judging system as singles, pairs and dance and is characterized by teamwork, speed, intricate formations and challenging step sequences. Elements in synchronized skating include blocks, circles, wheels, lines, intersections, move elements, creative elements, no holds elements, spins and pairs moves. (see detailed list of elements) Synchronized teams in the U.S. can compete in 14 different levels according to the age and skill level of the team members.
​
There are so many benefits to participating in a team sport, and synchronized skating is a great way for figure skaters to compete in a sport they love while enjoying all of the aspects of working with others in a team-oriented sport.
