The East Grand Forks Preliminary Synchronized Skating Team, in partnership with the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club, is a competitive program for developing skaters who are ready to build on their individual skating skills while competing as part of a synchronized skating team. Participants refine technical skating abilities, teamwork, and performance skills through regular practices, exhibitions, and regional competitions.

Team size ranges from 8-20 skaters. Team placement is determined by the synchronized skating coaches and Skating Director. Skaters who do not meet all recommended requirements may be considered on an individual basis, while placement decisions are made in the best interest of each team and the overall program.



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

Preliminary Synchro will tentatively begin October 12th at the VFW Memorial Arena.

Sundays: 5:45–7:15 PM

Wednesdays: 6:00–8:00 AM (as needed)
