How did we get SynchroCenter started?
It all started with a messy spreadsheet. Team names, scores and places were copied over from different web sites and stored in a large spreadsheet with multiple tabs. We were tired of juggling countless tabs just to keep track of our synchronized skating competitions. We have done it over months analyzng in our own way to find interesting insights and trends. We realized other skaters and their families must be struggling too! There was no central repository to organize scores and information. While figure skaters and ice dancers have received ample support, the synchronized skating community was largely left behind. Seeing a need for a dedicated platform, we built SynchroCenter.com to support the synchronized skating community using our skills and abilities.
Why Synchronized Skating?
Synchronized skating is a great sport for people of all ages and abilities. It is a team sport that teaches skaters teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship. It is also a great way to get exercise and have fun at the same time.
Synchronized skating teams of eight to 20 skaters perform routines that combine elements of singles, pairs, and ice dance. Routines can last up to 4 minutes and 10 seconds and include a variety of elements, such as formations, step sequences, and lifts. More information refers to US Figure Skating site
In the United States, synchronized skating teams can compete at various levels in the local competitions, regional competitions all the way to national and international.
