Welcome to the Fire Crystal’s Synchronized Skating Team Program! Synchro can be very rewarding as you make new friends, learn new skills, and to improve your own skating skills. Being on a team, however, requires you to make a personal commitment to your coach and teammates.

A synchro team functions as a unit and just one person missing from a practice or performance can cause that unit to not function properly. There are rules and procedures to follow to maintain a team. Remember, the greatest successes will come from hard work and dedication. We wish your participation will be full of fun and success.

Please read this agreement completly. Please make sure to answer all questions and to mark all acknowledgement boxes. This agreement follows the guidelines as set forth by US Figure Skating.
