Go Blades!
The Fond du Lac Blades competes at all levels of the USFSA synchronized skating up to and including Junior level. Teams formed each year depend on the skills, ages and number of skaters contracted for a season.
You can be a Blade too! We are always looking for more members to help grow friendships and create memories to last a lifetime.
