Our Teams

The Black Gold family is comprised of teams of all ages and skill levels. In the spring we offer our skills and auditions to evaluate skaters for our upcoming season. Our dedicated coaching staff, work together to create strong teams at all levels. Our season officially starts for most teams in August with some teams bringing in choreographers to begin building their program.
