Introducing District Synchro!
District Synchro was founded in June 2021 at Fort Dupont Ice Arena, under the District Impact Skating Club.
We're proud to represent the only figure skating club and ice rink in Washington, DC!
District Synchro is dedicated to empowering athletes to excel in synchronized skating through teamwork,
positivity, and dedication. We believe that synchronized skating is a sport where everyone belongs!
Synchronized Skating
In synchronized skating, five to twenty skaters perform together as a team. The team moves as a unit over the
ice, performing required elements in a program set to music. The most common elements include the block,
circle, intersection, line, and wheel. Synchronized skating is the fastest growing discipline in skating, with
over 600 teams in the United States alone.
2024-2025 Season
District Synchro is excited to field teams at the Open Juvenile and Aspire levels this season. While our home rink, Fort Dupont Ice Arena, is temporarily closed for renovations, our teams are practicing at other local rinks. We have an exciting season planned with competitions in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook @districtsynchro!
