Practical Tools for “Green” Judges

Intended for ISI Professional coaches who are new to judging or have judged only a handful of times, this one-hour webinar is designed to reduce the uncertainty of sitting on a judging panel and provide practical tools they can use at their next competition.

Judging is more than assigning a score. It is an important part of the ISI competition experience — and one of the best ways for coaches to strengthen their understanding of the ISI program. Sitting on the other side of the boards gives coaches a different perspective on programs, performance, rules, and what judges actually see.

ISI Skating Programs & National Events Director Kim Hansen and ISI Managing Director Liz Mangelsdorf will share the real-world side of judging — what to look for and how to take effective notes, manage your scores, and feel more confident serving on a panel.
