- Ice Synchro WA incorporated 2009

The competition is held over three days and includes Official Practice and then two days for the short program and the free skate program.
National Championships
Each team trains during the year in order to compete at Club, State and ultimately National Championships.
- If a team demonstrates sufficient performance it is nominated by WAISA to compete in the National Championship
- Championships are held in a different city each year in very late November and early December
- Typically they are held in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and so involve travel and accommodation
