Southern Tier Sizzle Synchronized Skating Team(s) Site is under construction.  Watch for updates as the season progresses!

If you are interested in being a member of either our youth team, teen or our adult team (under development), please contact Robyn Bentley at 607-271-2212.  We'd love to hear from you.  Our team(s) skate on Wednesdays and Sundays.  We are hoping to have 3 teams for the '08/'09 Season - Youth, Teen and Adult.  We currently have a youth and a teen team for '07/'08.  Recruiting is an  on-going process and practices started this Fall. 

What is synchronized team skating?    Synchronized team skating involves groups of skaters performing various formations and moves to music.  The objective in synchronized team skating is for involved skaters to perform as one unit as opposed to individual soloists.

Who can be on a synchronized formation team?  Skaters of any age can be involved in synchronized skating.  However, completion of ISI Level Delta or its equivalent is highly recommended.

Is there a team commitment?  Yes.  The team is an ongoing process.  The Southern Tier Sizzle is currently recruiting new skaters.

We strive to meet the individual goals of each skater, while offering a team atmosphere, and a year-round training facility.

Synchro team members are required to skate both Sunday Synchro Session and Wed. Clinic Session at minimum...See Advanced Figure Skating Tab for more information.

If you are interested in the team, please don't wait until Fall, let us know now...most of our skaters continue skating year round.

Synchro Practices for 2007-2008 Season (In Addition to Advanced Figure Skating and Clinic Times) - Sundays, starting Oct. 7th  - 6:00-7:30pm -
