CanSkate Element Events



As CanSkate Element Events were designed for CanSkaters to incorporate the transition from CanSkate to StarSkate, the following guidelines are to be followed when offering a CanSkate Element Event:

  • CanSkate Stages 1 – 6 will follow the CanSkate Element Event Technical Package . Once you have clicked onto the CanSkate Element Event Technical Package link, click on: CanSkate Material. A zip file will open with resource materials and the Technical Package for you to use.
  • For any type of element, spin/spiral/jump and team event categories, skaters must not have passed any portion of the complete Preliminary Freeskate test or the equivalent Star assessment
  • For any type of dance and skating skills categories, skaters must not have passed any of the Preliminary Dance tests or Preliminary Skating Skills test or the equivalent Star assessment
  • Creative expression/creative improv – no restrictions on test/assessment levels
  • Showcase skaters must not have passed the Intro Interpretive test
  • Music is permitted only for creative improv, showcase, team or dance type events.
  • To distinguish between CanSkate Element Events and competitions,  the following terminology is to be used:

    • Competition or Championships = Event
    • Competitors = Skaters
    • Judges= Assessors
    • Tech Rep = Event Lead
    • Competition Chair Person = Club Event Contact
    • No reference to Star or StarSkate can be utilized
