Taking the Code of Points Training will set you apart as a serious and educated coach in Pole and Aerial Sports.  Even if you never plan to judge, this course will show that you understand the rules and know what it takes to help your athletes succeed. 

A Prospective/New Judge

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 of the Code of Points Training and passing the Judges Certification test, you may be invited to judge the USPSF Virtual Semi-Finals and possibly future events such as USPSF Nationals and even POSA Worlds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications do I need?

Anyone who would like to learn more about the Code of Points is invited to take the workshop and/or work towards becoming a Certified Judge. 

What are the requirements for Judge’s Training?

New and re-certifying judges must attend all 4 sessions LIVE and for the full duration with cameras on/open to receive course credit.

If I pass the Judge's Certification will I automatically judge the next competition?

There are a lot of things that go into choosing a judging panel. It will be up to the organizers of the event who are chosen. However, having your certification makes you one step closer to judging.

Judges are required to keep their certification current by re-certifying each year to be considered for judging assignments, with no exceptions.

How does the lifetime access work?

Active judges who train and judge with us yearly will have access to free recertification courses for life. Judges that have lapsed/been inactive (not judged/certified with us) for 2+ years will forfeit lifetime access. They will need to pay a renewal fee and are required to retake the multiple-choice test.
