 Compulsories

For more information download the Application Packet

Skaters will perform specific maneuvers as indicated in the requirements that follow. Compulsories are skated in a routine without music on half the ice surface. Moves may be done in any order, but each listed move must be attempted, but attempted only once. Deductions will be made for added, repeated, or omitted elements. Connecting footwork and choreography are encouraged but excessive footwork and added elements will be penalized.

Note 1 - The second jump of a jump combination must be made from the landing edge of the first jump. No turn or change of foot between jumps is permitted.
Note 2 - The Balance Move Sequence must include a Forward and a Backward Spiral. Additional Spirals and Balance

Moves such as Spread Eagles, Ina Bauers, Shoot the Ducks, etc. may be included. Skater has the choice of a Straight-Line, Circular, or Serpentine sequence of step maneuvers carrying the skater across the ice in patterns. Footwork is intended to show the precision and dexterity of the skater's movements.
