Did you know that the Southern CT Synchronized Skating Teams practice at Terry Conners Rink? They finish their season in March and have already started thinking about next year.
On Sat, Feb 22 from 10am until 2pm and on Thurs, Feb 27 from 5pm until 7pm, parents and skaters will be available in the TC lobby to talk to interested skaters about the organization and answer questions about synchronized skating and upcoming Tryouts.

They train year round and perform in competitions and exhibitions.
