Professional Training Program

As part of its new highly specialised professional training programme for all members of the judging panels across all sections, this international federation announces that on 23 and 24 May 2026, there will be two specific modules, each lasting half a day, covering the following topics:

Saturday 23 May:

‘The most common mistakes in the difficulty section of pole and aerial disciplines, with illustrative examples’

Speaker: Liudmyla Isaieva
International Head Judge, member of the Ukrainian Federation’s technical committee and trainer of Ukrainian national judges.

Sunday 24 May:

‘The relationship between execution and artistic expression in Pole & Aerial Sport: how good execution can facilitate the artistic aspect.’

Speaker: Davide Lacagnina
POSA President, International Jury Trainer, International Head Judge Trainer

These two specific modules are aimed at all already certified POSA judges who wish to deepen and improve their knowledge of the rules; they also count as recertification for all judges who have not yet taken part in the jury recertification process.

This in-depth module has also been designed for coaches and athletes who wish to gain a better understanding of how to structure their performance and how the various assessment criteria are closely interlinked.

Payment must be made to POSA:

Deadline for registration: midnight on Wednesday 20 May.

Sessions will only take place if there are at least ❶ participants per session.

Once payment has been made, please send an email to contact@posaworld.org, attaching the payment receipt and specifying which module you wish to attend, or both.
