Adult Skaters Can be Evaluated at S*T*A*R*S Too

USFS runs an off-ice physical evaluation program called S*T*A*R*S or  Standardized Testing of Athleticism to Recognize Skaters.

The ADULT SKATER POLICY is here.  Adults are limited to the High Performance Movement Screen.

Here is the official announcement.

S.T.A.R.S., the official fitness assessment program of U.S. Figure Skating, is returning to more than 15 cities nationwide! U.S. Figure Skating is also excited to introduce the brand new High Performance Movement Screen at selected cities during the S.T.A.R.S. season.

The S.T.A.R.S. combine consists of 15 tests in three areas:
Agility/balance/coordination
Strength/power
Flexibility

Registration includes:
An assessment
Dynamic warm-up class
“Nutrition Throughout the Season” educational seminar
S.T.A.R.S. t-shirt
A detailed report at the end of the season to track the athlete’s personal improvement and comparative statistics for each test level.

The High Performance Movement Screen (HPMS)
HPMS is an individual, one-on-one evaluation focusing on three key areas:
Mobility
Stability
Symmetry

The tests are based on established movement screen protocols commonly used in sports medicine and are administered by a group of physicians, physical therapists and certified athletic trainers. Each participating athlete will receive a detailed report flagging areas of concern and a thorough explanation of exercises to strengthen and improve flagged areas. Reports are confidential and never shared without permission.

Registration is now open. Click HERE to register today!
