What are APSA Update Points and when are they due?

Updated

APSA Update Points are a record that members log and submit to APSA, the figure skating coaches' association at apsa.net.au. According to the association's website, the current deadline is before 30 June 2026, and submission must be made through a form on the APSA website using the latest version of the spreadsheet. If you are an APSA member, the practical answer is: keep your log current, download the current spreadsheet from the site, and submit it through the official form before that date.

What the Update Points requirement involves

The APSA site describes Update Points as a log sheet that members submit. The key details published on the site are:

  • What you submit: an update points log sheet, completed in the spreadsheet format provided by APSA.
  • Where you submit it: via a form on the APSA website.
  • Which version to use: the latest version of the spreadsheet, which is available on the APSA website.
  • Deadline: before 30 June 2026.

The site is explicit that no other submission formats, and no links to external storage websites, will be accepted. It also advises saving your worksheet on your local device before completing and uploading it.

How to submit your Update Points

  1. Go to the APSA website and download the latest version of the update points spreadsheet. Using an older copy risks your submission not matching the current format.
  2. Save the file to your own device first, as the site instructs, then complete it locally.
  3. Fill in your log sheet according to the spreadsheet's structure.
  4. Submit the completed file through the form on the APSA website before 30 June 2026.
  5. Verify your submission was accepted through the form, since emailed files or links to cloud storage are not accepted.

Common pitfalls the site flags

  • Wrong format: only the spreadsheet submitted through the APSA form is accepted. Links to external storage sites will be rejected.
  • Editing in the cloud: complete and save the worksheet on your local device before uploading.
  • Double-counting first aid: you cannot claim a CPR refresher course toward your points if it is included in your First Aid Course. The site states it must be done separately.

Who this applies to

The requirement is framed for APSA's community of figure skating coaches, who the association says it supports through education, collaboration, and professional development. If you are a member who accrues update points, the 30 June 2026 deadline and the website form are the two things to track. The site does not publish details of how many points are required or how points are earned beyond the log sheet process, so check the current spreadsheet and form on apsa.net.au for those specifics.
