Welcome to one of the world's finest fitness activities...Ice Skating!
ISI's Recreational Ice Skater Test Program is used worldwide, has accepted standards, and has been developed for those who skate for recreation and enjoyment - for fun and pleasure. It appeals to first-time skaters because it teaches movements they can master almost immediately. It provides achievable objectives with immediate results.A strength of the ISI instructional program is the logical progression of skill development, whereby skills learned in each level build on skills achieved in the preceding level. Example: Pre-Alpha one-foot glides are needed before Alpha forward stroking and forward crossovers, which rely on one-foot gliding, can be learned. Another strength of the ISI instructional program is the established standard of performance of all maneuvers at all levels, rather than a list of maneuvers to be taught/learned.
The President's Council of Physical Fitness and Sports has rated ice skating as one of the best sports for maintaining physical fitness - and ice skating can be enjoyed for a lifetime. ISI skaters range in age from two to 80-plus. Skaters agree that the healthy competition, the camaraderie, and the beauty of skating are what make this sport so special.
The initial ISI program was developed in 1961, and in 1963 the Alpha-Beta-Gamma Basic Skills tests were established. In 1965, the program grew to incorporate five freestyle and couple skating tests, plus nine ice dancing tests. Today, the ISI program has 80 different levels of tests for skaters of all ages and ability levels. |
