Team du Coeur offers competitive synchronized skating teams for those interested in training and competing as a group.
At the Beginner level, skating once a week on a team is not only fun, it also greatly increases a skater's individual skating skills. Teams range from 8 - 16 skaters based upon age and skill level.
Team du Coeur will soon be forming Beginner teams for the 2011 - 2012 season for skaters enrolled in Basic 6 and above by the fall.
No synchro experience is needed to audition for any of the Beginner teams. Join our family-friendly atmosphere of teamwork and fun.
Introductory Team
