Virtual Events and Activities

Off ice sessions are available to all our members. Members will not be charged for these off-ice sessions. The cost will be met from membership fees and our fundraising activities. Weekly sessions will commence on Monday 6^th April at 12.30 until July with Paul Crocker. Please download zoom in advance. A zoom link will be sent out to all members. https://zoom.us

Further sessions with more IS coaches will become available too.

Off ice disciplines - Inclusive Skating covers ice, in-line, roller and off-ice disciplines. Due to the lack of ice we will be bringing forward our in-line, roller and off-ice activity event program. Results and ranking for ice, in-line, roller and off-ice will be separate. Skaters may compete and test at different levels on ice, in-line, roller and off-ice.

Off ice activities – New off-ice events are available and evaluated as follows.

Scottish Inclusive Skating Championships 2020 Videos submitted for the Scottish Championship will be judged as normal. If you don’t have a video of your full routine then we can use a portfolio of evidence to evaluate your program; including: your most recent Inclusive Skating marks and You-tube videos, video evidence of any recent programs, elements, program sections, off ice skills and/or a new video of an off ice run through of your program performed to your music. Please provide your PPC where relevant and indicate whether you wish your evaluation to be a private test result or a public virtual event result. Medals will be awarded for all events and tests.

Please seek the help of your coach and stay safe - Good luck and good skating!

The Technical Handbook, 5th Edition 2020 has now been released. 

Inclusive Skating has events for everyone no matter what the challenge. Most events are unified so the families, carers and our community of volunteers can join in too.

There is a wide range of events in Compulsory Elements, Free Skating, Compulsory Figures, Free Dance, Pattern Dance, Pair Skating, Couples Free Dance, Speed Skating and Synchro events with groups of duets, trios, quartets, teams of 5 to 10 and super teams of 11 to 16.

Events take place at ice rinks and online through the internet. All entries should be made through the event platform on this website.

Skaters may submit a video performance if they cannot travel to the designated ice rink for the event at the time stated. This includes: anyone who cannot travel to an event because of funding or practical difficultes, or has a condition that prevents them from performing, e.g. autism, anxiety issues or behaviourable difficulties.

Individual assessment and meeting of needs is assured through classification, facilitation, accreditation and even individual adjustment of rules.

The rules exist to ensure that everyone is included and that everyone can show what they can do! Check out the Rules page to find out more about the rules.
