Ice Emeralds participate and compete at multiple skill levels and age groups.
Take a look at our comparison chart for which might be your fit! Please keep in mind that this is still in flux given that we’re trying to regroup following the pandemic changes.
Each team has a suggested minimum test, though coaches are flexible. Tests are not the only factor in determining which team is the best for you. Coaches can account for comparable levels with other test systems; please inquire with our coaches by email at emeralds.synchro@gmail.com.
