About the Program
The Robert Morris University Island Sports Center currently has three competitive U.S. Figure Skating synchronized skating teams - the Steel City Blades Competitive and Junior Competitive Teams along with the Free Spirits adult skating team.
The purpose of the Little Blades: Developmental Synchronized Skating program is to introduce skaters ages 6-13 to synchronized skating and to familiarize them with elementary holds, formations and transitions. Emphasis is on the development of basic synchronized skating skills that are necessary to prepare for synchronized team tryouts. However, there is no obligation to try out or join the Steel City Blades synchronized skating teams.
The Learn to Synchronized Skate program will teach a variety of hand, elbow and shoulder holds in addition to footwork, unison, straight lines and formations. You'll improve your basic skating skills while having lots of fun!
There is a place for everyone in our synchronized skating program!
