Embedded Files
Formerly known as "Moves in the Field", Skating skills must be skated with good edges, control, flow, extension, carriage and rhythm. An even speed and flow should be maintained throughout. Maximum utilization of the ice surface is desirable. Ice coverage must not be obtained by the use of flat or shallow edges. See here for USFSA's skater checklist for skating skills.
Pre-Preliminary Skating Skills
The purpose of this test is to encourage beginning skaters to learn the fundamentals of ice skating. No great deal of technical ability, carriage or flow is expected. The candidate must show knowledge of the steps, fairly good edges and some evidence of good form (rule 5101)
The purpose of this test is to continue the encouragement of beginning skaters to learn the fundamentals of ice skating. The candidate must show knowledge of the steps and a good sense of power (speed and flow). Attention should be given to depth of edges and proper curvature of lobes (rule 5102).
The fundamentals of ice skating must be demonstrated, although not necessarily mastered. Good edges, flow, power, extension and posture are required and must be strongly emphasized (rule 5103).
Candidates must skate the correct steps and turns on good edges, with good form, flow, power and preciseness to their steps (rule 5104).
Strong, true edges, smooth turns, correct posture and effortless flow are expected of the candidate (rule 5105)
The candidate must give a performance that is generally good. The preciseness of the footwork should be nearly faultless, the body motion well timed, and the flow and power very good. No major consistent errors should be in evidence (rule 5106).
The candidate must give a performance that is generally very good in all respects. Focus should be on power, flow, edge quality, line, and footwork control (rule 5107).
The candidate must give an excellent performance, displaying power, strong edge control and depth, extension and precise footwork control (rule 5108).
