Team Descriptions

Intro-to-Synchro

This program is suitable for skaters in any CanSkate level. Also, this is appropriate for skaters who are new to Synchronized Skating and are under 12 years of age.

Pre-Juvenile

This team is suitable for skaters who have passed CanSkate Level 5 and must be 11 years of age or younger as of July 1st, 2008.

Juvenile

This team is suitable for skaters who are working on Preliminary or Junior Bronze dances and Preliminary Skills or Freeskate. Seventy five per cent of the team members must be under 12 years of age and the remaining 25% must be under 15 years of age.

Pre-Novice

For 2008-09, Oakville Edge will be running this program to accommodate skaters who are 12 years of age or older and want to “learn to skate” Synchro with skaters closer to their own age and skill level. Typically the skaters on this newly designed team have only recently started to skate. Skaters must be beyond CanSkate Level 5. The team will compete at 2 fun competitions and the time commitment and expectations will be significantly lighter than those of the 2007-2008 Pre-Novice team.

The program will only be offered if a minimum of 12 skaters join the program.

Festival Novice  

This team is suitable for skaters who are working on their Senior Bronze or Junior Silver dance tests and Junior Bronze Freeskate tests. Seventy five per cent of the team members must be under 15 years of age and the remaining 25% must be under 19 years of age.
