Interested in Becoming a Judge?

 

There are several ways an individual can become involved in the world of figure skating and serve the skating community. One of the best volunteer activities is judging; it is a wonderful way to impart skating knowledge and help young skaters achieve their skating goals.

 

Judges are volunteers who have a sincere desire to be of service to the sport of figure skating. Judging requires time, commitment, and study. Judges must learn and follow the rules and standards set by USFS. A judge must continue to study the rulebook, take a judges exam, observe and participate in Judges Schools and seminars, judge competitions and test sessions, and maintain an open and continuous relationship with coaches and skaters. Judges also volunteer their time and talent in support of skaters of SCP by leading educational sessions and providing critiques to help the skater learn what a judge looks for. Judges appraise skating tests and competitions and give marks, without fear of favor.

 

A prospective judge must be:

1. 18 years of age or older (allowed to trial judge before age 18);

2. Trial judge a minimum of 8 test sessions (3 sessions must have different panels and 2 sessions must be outside their home club);

3. Attend Judges School;

4. Pass Judge Exam;

5. Receive a favorable endorsement from judging peers;

6. 75% accuracy rate while trial judging;

7. Be appointed by the judge’s committee. Skaters who have achieved their Novice freeskating or Silver dance test may become a judge on the accelerated program. They do not have to trial as many tests to receive their appointment, but must have all the other requirements.
