The East Grand Forks Aspire Synchronized Skating Team, in partnership with the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club, is a competitive introductory synchro program designed for skaters who are ready to transition from Learn to Skate into competitive team skating. Skaters continue developing strong individual skating skills while learning synchronized skating elements, teamwork, and performance techniques through practices, exhibitions, and regional competitions.

Team size ranges from 5-20 skaters. Team placement is determined by the synchronized skating coaches and Skating Director. While every effort is made to place qualified skaters, placement is not guaranteed and may be adjusted based on team composition, skill development, and the needs of the program.

Competitive team members are expected to participate in fundraising opportunities that support the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club and its programs.

Aspire Synchro will begin October 12th at the Blue Line Club Arena until construction is completed at the VFW Memorial Arena.
