When Team Image head coach Sylvia Muccio, relocated from Chicago, she introduced the New York City Metropolitan area to the sport of Precision Skating. Originally started as a class, local skaters made up the first team which performed in the Ice Show at the E.J. Murrays skating center in Yonkers, New York.
With the formation of the Yonkers Figure Skating Club in 1987, Team Image would now have a club to represent at USFSA competitions. In 1988, the Yonkers Figure Skating teams were formed. Originally competing as the Ice Images, Ice Imagettes and Mirror Images, the local Yonkers Figure Skating Club skaters enjoyed success, advancing to the National Championships and attracting skaters from the Tristate area. Precision Skating would eventually be known as Synchronized Skating, and in 1999, the Yonkers Figure Skating Club Skaters would be known as Team Image.
Throughout the past 20 years, Team Image teams have competed in every USFSA qualifying Division. Along with the Juvenile and Intermediate teams, Team Image Novice, Junior and Senior teams have consistently medaled at Sectionals and advanced to the National Championships. At the 2008 US National Championships, Team Image secured a Medal in the highly competitive Intermediate Division, while their Juvenile team finished in the top 10.
Today, the Team Image organization is made up of over 60 skaters from New York and Connecticut who form 5 teams.
Team Image, a community of coaches, skaters and their families, work together to provide children and young adults with a rewarding, competitive, recreational and educational experience.
Team Image skaters learn sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline as well as the techniques of Synchronized Figure Skating, all while making friendships that last a lifetime!
