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.

Skills Assessment Resource Guide August 2024 Copyright © 2024 Skate Canada 9 Skills Content There are four types of elements/exercises that are assessed in Skills: • Edges • Turns • Exercises • Field moves Edges and Turns All edges and turns are to be done in isolation demonstrating figure form to allow skaters to develop an understanding of: • Balance point on the blade • Controlled body movement • A controlled and strong core • Proper turning technique Figure Form Figure form refers to body alignment and postures that were trained when skaters performed compulsory figures. This body alignment consists of a tall posture and narrow stance while standing on one foot. Arms are carried close to the body, at waist level. The free foot is carried close to the skating leg in a controlled manner (heel to toe or toe to heel). All movements are performed in a calm and controlled manner. Stability through the core of the body is essential. There is no “one way” to perform skills in figure form. Skaters can use a technique that works for them while keeping within the figure form principles. Figure form includes: ▪ narrow stance ▪ arms close to body ▪ free foot held close to skating leg ▪ highlights balance point on blade ▪ requires solid control for balance and flow (strong core) ▪ focus on edge quality vs. presentation
