Spin Spiral Jump Competition

Figure Club is holding a Spin Spiral Jump competition from 4:30pm until 7pm on Saturday 30 September at the Oxford Ice Rink.

This is a fun and easy competition that provides a gentle introduction to figure skating as a performance sport.

Appropriate music for each skater in the Spin Spiral Jump will be set by the team on the day.

Competition Categories

There are three categories for the competition:

• Spin Spiral Jump - aimed at first time competitors who have not practiced their own routine. We will supply music for you to skate to.
• Programme - aimed at skaters who have passed Skate UK Gold and have begun to practice their own routine in preparation for an open competition. You will need to supply your own music for the competition.
• Competition - aimed at skaters who have already competed in an open competition

Judging

The event will be judged by a panel, so that skaters get the feeling of how a competition runs. There will also be a prize ceremony at the end, which the jduges feed into. But it's all very friendly, so don't be put off by skating in front of judges.

• Spin Spiral Jump Category

  There is no minimum level for the Spin Spiral Jump competition but you will need your own skates and you will need a private coach to help you put a routine together. This will not require a huge amount of private coaching, it is simply to provide the skater with some orientation before they take the ice on the day.

• Programme and Competition Categories

  The programme category will be judged professionally which means you can use your score as a feedback leading up to official competitions. Please note that you won't be able to claim this score, but it will provide an indication of a potential official competition score.

There is a professional judge and two senior skaters for all categories.
