School Figures were formerly an aspect of the sport of figure skating, from which the sport derives its name. Carving specific patterns or figures into the ice was the original focus of the sport. The patterns of school figures all derive from the basic figure eight. Figures are composed of either two or three circular lobes. Practice of school figures is sometimes referred to as "patch" because each skater is assigned a defined area (or patch of ice) on which to skate. The IJS is calling for well-defined and clear entry edges into jumps, footwork sequences, and spins. School Figures train skaters to understand and use edges for clarity and definition.
