Who is the CODE OF POINTS TRAINING for?
For Athletes
Learn what is required to put together a phenomenal routine and how to maximize your score. Understand how judges score so that you can do your very best. Athletes do not have to take the test if they do not want to. Athletes will receive a digital certificate of completion for taking this course even if they do not test.
For Coaches
Taking the Judge's training will set you apart as a serious and educated coach in Pole and Aerial Sports.
Coaches are invited to take the complete Judge's training and then test.
Even if you never plan to judge, this judge's certification will show that you understand the rules and know what it takes to help your athletes succeed in pole sport.
For Prospective/New Judges
Would you like to be a part of history as a certified POSA Judge? The POSA Judges Training is an internationally acclaimed certification that will qualify you to judge certain POSA national competitions. Your certification will stand as a testament that you understand the scoring and can serve the pole community through your judging.
With your successful completion, you will be invited to judge the USPSF Virtual Semi-Finals and possibly future events such as USPSF Nationals and even POSA Worlds.
For previously certified POSA Judges
Are you a certified POSA/USPSF Judge?
Has it been a while since you've judged? Need a refresher on the Code of Points? Take this training to make sure your skills are laser-sharp and you're ready to judge.
All USPSF judges will be required to recertify as early as 2021 in order to judge Pole Sport at USPSF events.
For Prospective Head Judges
If you are a certified USPSF judge and have judged in the last three years, we invite you to take the NATIONAL HEAD JUDGE CERTIFICATION. You will take the Code of Points Training and then will be given a special test for Head Judges. Upon successful competition of this certification, you will be qualified to serve as Head Judge at a National level.
