Synchronized Skating Club
The UNB Synchronized Skating team is a club that is mainly student run, which provides a unique atmosphere. The team as a whole provides input and suggestions that help shape not only the program, but also the overall direction of the team. All four class years and all skating test levels are represented. The time commitment for synchro is 4 to 5 hours a week, but the bonding and teamwork are exceptional. The UNB synchro team can give you back incredible friendships, quality skating and the potential to shape an up-and-coming program. Synchronized skating is a specialized branch of skating distinct from figures, free skating, ice dancing and pair skating. It involves teams of skaters (from twelve to twenty) performing a variety of types of footwork, group formations and skating maneuvers. Heads, legs, arms and bodies must be synchronized and in unison. Formations must be accurate; lines must be straight. Programs are judged for technical difficulty and presentation (artistic impression).
