Figure & Synchronized Skating Officials

Officials are respected members of British Ice Skating who volunteer their time and expertise of the sport to support the development of our skaters. They are involved because of their love of skating and to assist in the progression of our athletes around the country, from grassroots to the high-performance level.

​

Officials provide their knowledge in various capacities within the organisation, including officiating at test sessions, competitions and providing education to fellow officials, coaches and skaters alike.

 

You can find out more about the different role types, and what prior experience and skills they require, below. Updated guidance about our Officials' development pathways - how you can get started and progress as an Official with British Ice Skating - is coming soon​
