How to use this

Start with a country, a beginner programme or an element. Open a level to read its collected requirements. Expand programme stages to see the exercises inside.

Try double Axel or three turn in the search box. Results show available definitions and matching evidence; not every question can be answered from the collection.

Compare programmes with similar purposes, then inspect their stages and requirements. Similar content does not mean the tests have the same difficulty or that one qualification transfers to another country.

Follow source links to check the original context. Where saved documents are available, you can read them here. Documents keep their dates; translations may be working translations rather than official wording.

This is a growing collection, not every requirement from every country. Missing results can mean missing or untranslated evidence, not that a skill is absent from a country’s programme. Read the coverage notes before drawing conclusions.

This is a growing reference, not a complete collection of every test. Material may be partial, historical or a working translation. No match does not mean a country does not teach an element.

Reference presentation updated . This is not a claim that every source was checked on that date. Individual documents retain their own dates and limitations.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 15 STAR 1 SKILLS EXERCISE: Basic Definition: An X & O pattern consisting of: - Large circles skated as per the steps indicated below. These circles are to be performed in CW and CCW direction at each end of the ice surface and are designed to use a full third of the ice. - Diagonal prescribed steps connecting the circles at either end of the ice containing the steps indicated below. Performance Example: Starting from forward skating, the skater will initiate an X & O pattern by performing a large circle of the following prescribed steps at one end of the ice (between blue line and goal line) in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction with power. “O” prescribed steps (circles): - Forward crosscuts (first circle), backward crosscuts (second circle) The skater will complete one full circle and then continue the prescribed steps to the corner of the ice to begin the basic push-glide prescribed steps along the diagonal axis to reach the opposite end of the ice. “X” prescribed steps (diagonal lines): - Forward push/glide steps, alternating feet (first), backward push/glide step, alternating feet (second) Once at the opposite end of the rink, the skater will perform a three-turn or C Step to turn backwards and repeat the circle pattern in the opposite direction from the starting circle and then initiate the diagonal steps as per the requirements listed above. Note to coaches: This exercise should be trained in both directions to support strong development. The skater should show rhythmic knee/ankle action throughout. For assessment purposes, the skater may choose starting direction. Mandatory Requirements: - perform one full pattern of the exercise - execute prescribed X and O steps
