POSA-Pole Sports & Arts World Federation

The POSA has been created in order to regulate, to organizee, to lead, and to develop the Pole Sports and Pole Art activitities all over the world.

22/09/2026

🌏🌎🌍As part of the advanced specialisation programme designed for coaches – but open to anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of technical regulations, annual planning and all aspects of the world of Pole and Aerial (covering both the Art and Sport sections) – POSA has launched a new in-depth course:

‘Reading and Understanding the POSA Rules & Regulations and the Code of Points’.

The course has been designed to help all those involved in the sport to familiarise themselves with and understand the administrative aspects, which nevertheless have technical significance for ensuring that athletes compete correctly.

Knowing, understanding and, consequently, applying the rules is a fundamental starting point for avoiding mistakes that could jeopardise the proper participation of an individual athlete (or even the entire team) in an important competition.

This course may produce the new ‘Head of Delegation’ figures, which every team must have in their entourage at international competitions.

Course programme

Day 1:

Detailed review and explanation of the Rules & Regulations, including the new rule on athlete eligibility (effective from 1 November 2026)

Specifically:

We are speechless and heartbroken to learn that Jamilla Deville has passed away.

Jamilla was a pioneer of pole dance—she was the one who showed all of us what and how to teach, not only in a regular class but also to competitive athletes.
Her contribution to the world of pole dancing has been enormous in every respect.

She was a guiding light for all of us, and if we have reached this point in our sport’s history, if this sport exists today, we owe it to her as well.

POSA extends its deepest condolences to Jamilla’s family.

Thank you, Jamilla, for being such a great inspiration to all of us; we will never forget you.

🌐 Basic Course for Competitive Coach

Dear federations, athletes, and coaches,

As part of the advanced technical training program for judges, athletes, and coaches, this International Federation has created (following numerous requests) a basic course for coaches.

The first and only course for competitive coaches, for those who want to increase their technical knowledge, for those who want to understand how to organize the technical program of their athletes.

This course offers coaches the opportunity to point out the work they’ll doing with their athletes in preparation for the competitive year.
The course is open to all athletes, judges, coaches, instructors or aspiring such, of Aerial & Pole Sport with at least the basic knowledge of Pole and/or Aerial, then all those who have judged, who have participated in national and international competitions or who have already trained athletes who have taken part in national and international competitions, can attend the course.
The course is entirely theoretical, online, in english language.

This course qualifies aspiring coaches to accompany athletes in national and international competitions under the auspices of POSA (Pole Sport, Pole Art, Aerial Sport, Aerial Art).

Those who pass the final exam (an online multiple-choice test) will receive a Level 1 Basic Coach Certificate.

Each year, to maintain their certification and enhance their technical knowledge, coaches must participate in at least one single-topic module, which may be organized by their national federation or directly by POSA.

If a second single-topic module is completed within the maintenance year (provided the tests are passed), the qualification will automatically advance to Level 2, and this will give the coach the opportunity to begin conducting coaching courses directly for the International Federation.

A Coach’s Manual will be provided to all course participants.
