Tropical & Sunshine Blades
Pines Ice Arena's Synchronized Skating Program.
ABOUT US
More Than a Team.
A Family on Ice.
Tropical & Sunshine Blades is a competitive synchronized skating program based in Pembroke Pines, Florida, offering teams for skaters of various ages and competitive levels.
Synchronized skating is a discipline of figure skating where athletes perform together as one unit, blending precision, speed, artistry, and teamwork. It is a sport that challenges skaters to trust one another, work together, and achieve more as a team than they ever could individually.
Whether a skater is discovering synchronized skating for the first time or pursuing higher levels of competition, our program provides expert coaching, meaningful opportunities for growth, and a supportive community where every athlete is encouraged to thrive both on and off the ice.
OUR VALUES
Building Athletes. Growing Leaders.
At Tropical & Sunshine Blades, we believe success is measured by more than competition results. Every practice, performance, and competition is an opportunity to develop confidence, character, and lifelong friendships while working toward a shared goal.
Our athletes are encouraged to embody the values that define our program:
Teamwork
Discipline
Commitment
Respect
Leadership
Builds Confidence
Sportsmanship
Together, these values help shape confident athletes, supportive teammates, and leaders who carry these lessons far beyond the rink.
