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 4 Synchro Overview This resource provides information specific to the content and assessment requirements for Synchro. Topics include: - Descriptions and standards - Assessment criteria and mandatory requirements - Assessment process and logistics The focus of the discipline of Synchro is the development of synchronized skating elements through a variety of skating skills and teamwork. Synchro elements are offered at STAR 2, 3 and 4 to bring awareness to the technique needed for program development. Note to coaches: All disciplines can be trained on any session. It is not mandatory to segregate disciplines into different sessions. For easy training accessibility, it is recommended to allow skaters to train all areas of the STAR content on the same session. Rationale for training Synchronized skating is the only discipline in skating involving more than two skaters. It introduces skaters to a team environment while promoting awareness, teamwork, and skating development. Skaters will learn synchro elements that will include timing, power, balance, control, and spatial orientation. These attributes will benefit all disciplines in skating. Synchronized skating also brings an element of social interaction into a mainly individual sport. Offering an opportunity for skaters to learn, practice and develop skills side by side encourages many life skills and provides an environment to support club morale, sportsmanship and fun. Training Strategies Synchronized skating at the STAR level can be trained alongside other disciplines. As skaters are learning and practicing elements, the amount of space needed on the ice is small. Some strategies include: - Offer Synchro as part of regular group lessons - Run a 15 minute Synchro class before a Cool Down - Add Synchro to a Station session - Schedule a Synchro lesson on a shared session or class (ex: Sr Spin class, Jr. Synchro lesson) - Rotate the focus in a regularly scheduled class time (ex: Mondays 4:00 – 4:15 pm: Week 1 - Power Class, Week 2 - Creative Movement, Week 3 - Edges & Turns, Week 4 - Synchro)
