PRECISION SKATING
Precision Skating is a specialised branch of artistic 
skating distinct from figures, freeskating, dancing or pairs skating. It involves a group of twelve or more skaters performing various groups formations and manoeuvres. "Precision" refers to the importance of unison and the accuracy of its formation and manoeuvres; the state of being precise. Lines must be straight, heads facing in the same direction, free legs matching the synchronised in time to the music. This can be quite a challenge for a group of six or more skaters.
The objective is to have the skaters performing as one (unison and precision) as opposed to individual soloists. The emphasis, however, is on enjoyment and participation. Precision skating is fun to do and fun to watch. Its rules are flexible enough to allow lots of original ideas and innovations. It thrives on colour and catchy music. It welcomes both male and female, young and old, short and tall, thin and not so thin to its ranks.
