What jumps are required for the Intermediate USFS test?

This is the level that separates recreational skaters from serious competitive ones. Your child is no longer proving they can land one double — they are showing consistent doubles across multiple jump types, in combination, inside a choreographed program.

Expect Double Salchow, Double Toe Loop, and Double Loop as core required doubles, combinations built on doubles, and an Axel (single at minimum, often double for competitive skaters at this stage). The physical demand here is meaningfully higher — air time, rotational speed, and landing strength all need to step up together.

Always verify current requirements with your coach or usfigureskating.org.
