NISA confirmed in writing today that IW synchronized skating team the Wight Jewels is now a member of the regional development pathway team. Membership of the development team brings the prospects of greater backing in terms of funding and training from NISA, and potentially opens up more international skating opportunities. More information will come from NISA as and when appropriate.

Well done to our synchro coach Terri Smith and all the girls. Synchronized skating has come a long way on the Island since its beginnings in 2005.
