The Skate Canada STAR Program consists of all Skate Canada STAR assessments, as well as STAR competition categories and supplementary Events. For detailed information regarding categories, qualifications and program requirements, refer to the STAR Technical Requirements Guide for the current season.
STAR 1-5
STAR 1-5 assessments are coach-assessed and include skills, free skate, dance, artistic and synchro. Assessments at the STAR 1-5 level are designed to support skater development within their own environment and remove barriers such as extra costs, inconvenience and time constraints.
STAR 6-Gold
STAR 6-Gold assessments are offered in an “external evaluation” environment and will be assessed by a qualified evaluator, with the exception of Skills that may be assessed by either an evaluator or the skater’s qualified coach assessor.
All coaches are encouraged to complete the new STAR 6-Gold training for each discipline, as it is available on Skate Canada’s eLearning site.
Additional courses, written resources and updated communications are also available on our website: skatinginbc.com and on the Skate Canada website to support coaches, evaluators, assessment coordinators and skaters with the logistics, descriptions and standards for each element, program or dance at the STAR 6-Gold level.
