THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO PROVIDE AMATEUR SKATERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN SKATING AND COMPETITION, TO PARTICIPATE IN A TEAM SPIRIT OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND GOODWILL, AND TO ENJOY THE TIME IT TAKES ATTAINING THEIR SKATING GOALS. THIS MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATION OF TWO PROGRAMS, ST LOUIS SYNERGY SYNCHRONIZED SKATING AND METRO EDGE FIGURE SKATING CLUB. ST LOUIS SYNERGY SYNCHRONIZED SKATING IS A PREMIER SYNCHRONIZED SKATING PROGRAM IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA. SYCHNRONIZED SKATING IS A SPORT THAT REQUIRES A TEAM OF 12 TO 16 SKATERS TO PERFORM COMPLEX PATTERNS AND SKILLS. MORE THAN 100 SKATERS FROM AGE 5 TO 18 PARTICIPATE ON SEVERAL TEAMS. THE SYNERGY PROGRAM FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING STRONG YOUNG WOMEN BY EMPHASIZING SPORTSMANSHIP, SCHOLARSHIP, SERVICE, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT. BY PARTICIPATING ON TEAMS, OUR SKATERS LEARN VALUABLE LESSONS ABOUT TEAMWORK, GOAL SETTING AND PERSERVERANCE. METRO EDGE FIGURE SKATING CLUB WAS FOUNDED IN 1996 AT THE WEBSTER GR
