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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 21 Assessment Logistics for Synchro Format As with other STAR 1-5 disciplines, Synchro is ideally assessed on regular training sessions, during the regular lesson time for the team or group. As Synchro assessments differ in nature from other disciplines, it is possible to assess more than one skater at a time when necessary. The maximum recommended number of skaters to assess at any one time is three. Some strategies include: One-coach scenario (many assessments): - Use the Individual Skater Assessment Tracker Sheet to record skater assessments during lessons over a period. - On “assessment day”, assess each team element. - Compile both sets of results onto individual sheets assigned to each skater. - Hand out at the next session, or next day. One-coach scenario (few assessments): - Place skaters being assessed side-by-side in the formations - Skate through each element, record outcomes - If an element needs to be performed more than once due to a re-skate or the need to assess the next group of skaters, coaches are encouraged to take the best performance of that element to record on the assessment sheet. Two or more coach scenario: - Assign each coach to a group of skaters. - Skate through each element, record outcomes. OR - Assign a coach to the team element assessment and another coach to the individual skater assessments. Interruptions Using regular sessions to conduct assessments will increase the chances of skaters encountering some “interference” when performing. Coach assessors are asked to use their discretion and best judgement regarding interference that relates to other skaters on the ice. For example, if a skater gets in the way of the team/group being assessed when performing an element, the coach assessor can allow the team/group to start the element again or ignore the interruption if it was minor.
