recreational ice skating

 

After careful consideration and discussion with the local organizing committee, we are disappointed to announce that it wouldn’t be prudent for us to move forward with the postponed 2020 Synchronized Skating Championships and the Beantown Showdown in April 2021 in the Boston area.

Given the unique structure of this event and more specifically this discipline of skating, we feel that the teams deserve an environment and schedule that will allow them to not only be safe but to be fully prepared for competition.

Therefore, we have rescheduled the event for April 1-3, 2022, and it will be hosted at the Valley Edge Sports Arena in Concord, Mass., as previously scheduled.

We look forward to seeing all of our synchro skaters in 2022!

Participants will surely enjoy the  Colonial-era charm of Concord. Top places to explore include:

Old North Bridge, Concord, Mass.
