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.

Freeskate Assessment Resource Guide July 2026 Copyright © 2026 Skate Canada 5 Freeskate Overview This resource provides information specific to the content and assessment requirements for Freeskate Elements and Programs. Topics include: - Assessment content and criteria - Assessment process and logistics The focus of the Freeskate discipline includes the development of jumps, spins, and Program Components. Freeskate combines the artistry of our sport with the technical aspect. Skating skills such as turns, edges and power serve as a base for the performance of jumps and spins. Musicality, expression, and performance are developed through Freeskate Programs. Freeskate Content Freeskate assessment is divided into two parts: Elements and Programs. - Freeskate Elements consist of jumps and spins only. At the STAR 6 – Gold level, all elements must be preceded by skating. Stand still elements are not acceptable at this level. - Freeskate Programs assess technical content (jumps, spins, choreographic sequences and step sequences) and Program Components (Composition, Presentation and Skating Skills). Freeskate Programs directly correlate with the program criteria expected at the STAR Events for the current season. To receive credit for a full STAR level, both the Freeskate Elements and the Freeskate Program assessments must be obtained for the same level. • For example: STAR 7 Freeskate Elements + STAR 7 Freeskate Program = STAR 7 Freeskate Skaters do not have to complete a full level before moving to the next assessment level in either Freeskate Elements or Freeskate Program. • For example: Skaters may choose to continue pursuing their Freeskate Elements assessments without completing the associated Freeskate Program assessment therefore a skater’s achievements could look like: o STAR 9 Elements & STAR 7 Program o They would have the full credit for STAR 7 Freeskate Note: To achieve credit for the full Gold Freeskate level, a skater must successfully complete the Gold Freeskate Program assessment and the STAR 10 Freeskate Elements assessment, as there is no element assessment at the Gold level.
