INFORMATION REGARDING COACHES:
U.S. Figure Skating Rule MR 5.11 Coach Compliance
In order to be granted access to work within U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned activities, each
coach must complete the following requirements on an annual basis by July 1:
A. Must be a current full member of U.S. Figure Skating - either through a member club or as an
individual member;
B. Must complete the coach registration process through the U.S. Figure Skating Members Only
site, submit proper payment for the annual registration fee of $30 and, if 18 years of age or older,
successfully pass the background screen.
C. Must complete the appropriate CER courses (A,B, C or D) depending on the highest level of
students being coached as of July 1. See rule MR 5.12.
D. Must submit proof of current general liability insurance with limits of $1 million per

For Basic Skills ONLY coaches - Any person, 18 and older, instructing in a U.S. Figure Skating Basic
Skills Program must have successfully passed the annual background screen and be registered
as a Basic Skills instructor member.
The local organizing committee/club will have a list of compliant coaches who are cleared for a
credential at the competition. Coaches will need to check in at the event registration desk and
show a government issued photo I.D. to receive a credential.
If a coach cannot provide a photo I.D. and is not on the list or cannot produce the necessary
documents, he or she will not be allowed a credential – no exceptions. We strongly urge all
coaches to have their cards with them. Non-credentialed coaches will not be permitted in the
designated coaching area at rink side during events including practice sessions. Coaching at
U.S. Figure Skating events without compliance is an ethics violation which is reported to U.S.
Figure Skating and PSA.

SECTION 2: Events Offered
Basic Skills Events
Special Notes about Basic Skills Eligibility: The competition is open to ALL skaters who are current eligible
(ER 1.00) members in good standing of clubs having membership in US Figure Skating and in the
Association of Philadelphia Area Figure Skating Clubs OR are individual members of the USFS and who
reside in the Philadelphia Area OR are registered with a Basic Skills Program in the Philadelphia Area. In
order to participate, skaters must be members of either the Basic Skills Program and/or full members of U.S.
Figure Skating. To be eligible, skaters must have submitted a membership application or be a member in
good standing. Members of other organizations are eligible to compete but must be registered with the
host Basic Skills Program/club or any other Basic Skills Program/club in the Philadelphia Area. ‘Philadelphia
Area’ is defined as being within a 110 mile radius of City Hall. .
Eligibility will be based on skill level as of closing date of entries. All Snowplow Sam and Basic Skills 1-8
skaters must skate at highest level passed or one level higher and NO official U.S. Figure Skating tests may
have been passed including MIF or individual dances. For Free skate 1-6, eligibility will be based only upon
highest free skate test level passed (moves in the field test level will not determine skater’s competitive
level). Skaters may skate at highest level passed OR one level higher BUT not both levels in the same event
during the same competition.
It is very important to the success of the competition that skaters are placed in the correct divisions. If, for
whatever reason, the Local Organizing Committee discovers that a skater has been placed in a category
that is below their class level, the chairman and referee will have the option to move the skater into the
proper division, even if this has to be done the day of the competition. This will ensure that every event is as
fair as possible to the competitors.
Please be sure to check for the director/instructor’s signature confirming the level of the skate

Levels are based upon the skaters’ highest pattern dance test passed.
A solo pattern dance competition event will consist of the skater performing two solo pattern dances.
The patterns to be skated depend upon which quarter of the year the competition is held. The skater will perform the two
pattern dances listed for their level, based upon the date of the competition. If the competition falls over two quarters (for
example, June 30th – July 2nd), the dance will be selected based on the start date of the competition listed in the
announcement (in this example, the 2nd quarter).
Each skater will complete both of their dances, consecutively, in the order listed, pausing briefly in between.

of specific moves.
• Props and Scenery are permitted and encouraged to help illustrate the act.
• Props are limited to those that skaters can carry or push out onto the ice themselves in one trip. Their set-up should not be more
than 30 seconds. Skaters may not be assisted during the set-up time nor assisted from off-ice during their number.
• If the skater has any assistance getting their props on or off the ice, a deduction of 0.5 will be taken.
• Props may not be flame or smoke oriented, nor may they be live.
• Only a presentation mark will be given.
• Deductions will be taken for anything left on the ice such as paper, feathers, glitter or anything else that could cause harm to
another skater.

Level will be determined by the highest free skate or dance (solo or partnered) test passed. Skaters may compete at the
highest level they have passed, or skate up to one level higher.
