For a synchronised team to flow in unison, individual skaters must be competent in a variety of skating skills, these include speed, footwork and ice presence. The team performs a program set to music, with required formations including circles, lines, blocks, wheels, and intersections. The teams are required to perform step sequences involving a number of various turns such as twizzles, counters and rockers and simpler turns like three-turns, mohawks and choctaws.
Gosport Stars Synchronised Skating Teams consist of 2 teams; Shooting Stars and Allstars. Each team is currently made up of 12 skaters plus alternates, ranging in age from 9 to 25.
Gosport Stars practice on-ice on Saturday mornings between 6-30 and 8-15. This tuition consists of improving and advancing field moves as well as rehearsing programs to a competition standard. The teams also rehearse off-ice every alternate Tuesday 7 until 8-30; this time has included tuition from a dance coach, to improve the skaters grace and posture. |
