Junior Trials and World Team athletes perform a Junior Short Program instead of Compulsories for the US Trials, Pre-Trials, and World competitions.

The video below demonstrates the Junior Women’s Short Program. This vidoe has been produced to show the start and finish position for each element. The Junior Men’s Short Program would be performed to the Men’s Short Program music.

*Note:  Effective September 1 2019, a change to Element Number 6 (Contact Material) of the Short Program was approved. The Contact Material element now consists of two segments: an 8-count vertical series and an 8-count horizontal series. Each series must begin on Count 1.

In the Junior division, between the vertical series and the horizontal series, the athlete does not perform any Accessory Material. They will reset to the horizontal series start position.






    Proficiency Examples: Vertical Contact Series
     

    Proficiency Examples: Horizontal Contact Series
