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.

Coverage, updates and corrections

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.

Synchro Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 23 Definitions of Holds Hold Definition Hand to Hand Facing in the same direction – skaters face in the same direction and skating side by side with their arms extended and their hands clasped Facing in opposite direction – skaters face each other while one skates forward and the other backwards with arms extended to the side Skaters clasp hands with another skater or skaters. Front or Back Catch Hold This is a hand-to-hand catch in which each skater holds the hand of the "second neighbour" -- in other words, instead of holding the person closest to you, you hold the next one down. Arms are crossed either in front or in back. Front Basketweave Stand in a line, hip to hip. Extend your right arm in front of your right neighbour and take the left hand of the person next to them. The person to your left will extend their right arm in front of you and hold the left hand of the person to your right. Now put your left arm over the right arm of the neighbor to your left and grab the hand of the person just beyond. The person to your right will do the same with their arms. All arms should cross the same. Left hand over with palm facing in and right hand under with palm facing out. The skater on the end of the line takes the “last free hand” with her outside hand. Back Basketweave As per the front basketweave, but hands are in back, one over and one under of the neighboring skaters.
