Test Days

Once a skater completes CanSkate, they advance into the Starskate stream where freeskate, skills and dance tests are taken on Skate Canada test days. They are evaluated by Skate Canada certified evaluators. Test days are scheduled based on the guidelines set out by Skate Canada. Test fees are due one week before the test is skated. The fee includes the Skate Canada portion of the fee, which is forwarded to Skate Canada, and the Caledon Centennial Skating Club administration fee. The Caledon fee goes towards food, a small gift and a mileage allowance for the evaluator as they are volunteers and are not paid for their services. This administration fee also covers any office supplies directly required for test days. Please check with your coach to ensure that you are in for the correct test before the deadline. It is important for skaters to arrive about one hour ahead of time as test days can get ahead of schedule. Make sure that your skates and skating attire are neat and clean. It is the skater’s responsibility to keep all their test sheets as there are sometimes errors in the records and it may be necessary to prove you have passed a pre-requisite test to continue. Should a skater fail to show for a test, the test fee is still payable and the test will be listed as “retry” on the submitted test forms. High tests are skated outside of our club.
