ISI & Basic Skill Badge Levels
Beginning Ice Skating Programs Both the ISI and Basic Skills Programs are designed to provide a fun environment to learn skate. There are some minor differences of the order in which specific skating skills are taught. Depending on what part of the country your reside, your local ice skating rink may host Ice Skating Institute (ISI) or United State Figure Skating (USFS) Basic Skating Skills group classes. Skaters who develop an interest competing will transition into joining the USFS if they aspire to compete in the International Skating Union (ISU) world and Olympic sanctioned championships. Skaters who are just beginning to develop their skills may participate in both ISI and USFS Basic Skills competitions, providing they are members of both organizations.
Differences between ISI and USFS Basic Skating Skills competitions There are required elements in both ISI and USFS Basic Skating Skills badges and competition events. Both types of competitions contain events that are performed from one third to half ice and without music. These events allow beginning skaters to be involved without the expense of choreographing a program to music and cutting a CD. Skaters, parents, and coaches must read the competition announcements to be sure that all of the required elements and no prohibited elements are included. Failure to follow the rules results in avoidable deduction taken by the judges that will affect the placement of a skater. The cost of joining both organizations is minimal so skaters can enter both types of competitions, which are held throughout the USA at different times of the year. Check with the Interclub Association in your area to see if the have a listing of USFS competitions hosted by member clubs. Check with the USFS Basic Skills to search for Basic Skills Competitions in your area. The ISI will have a listing of ISI competitions by ISI Districts. Use last year's competition dates to reserve time on your calendar for the current year's approximate dates. Check with each club's web sites for the competition announcement starting 3 to 4 months ahead of the expected competition date. Ask your coach or skating school director for competition dates. They usually have last year's competition Calendar. Develop your personal calendar, using 2009 Skating Calendar as an example.
