Assessment is a very important part of a skater’s development as it measures their progress and allows them to see the results of their hard work.  Each skater progresses at his/her own speed. When your coach feels that the skater is ready to be assessed, they will notify the skater/parent of the upcoming Assessment Days. Skaters who are testing at the STAR 6 - Gold level will participate in a scheduled Assessment Day and will be assessed by an evaluator assigned by Skate Ontario. 

2024-2025 Season
Assessment Day # 1: 6 Feb. 2025 (tentative from 6:30 - 9 pm)
Assessment Day # 2: TBD May, 2025 (tentative from 6:30 - 9 pm)

The Assessment Coordinator organizes the test days, makes arrangements for the evaluators, and collects the test list from the coaches. A final test schedule is then done and share with the skaters by email and/or posting on bulletin board outside our office. The schedule may include a time which may require your child to miss school or an after school activity.

• Assessment Days are special days set aside for skaters to take tests at the STAR 6 - Gold level.
• Upper Canada SC typically offers 2 Assessment Days during the season.
• There are separate assessments for each of freeskate (Elements and Program), ice dance, skating skills and Artistic.  
• Coaches have to submit a tentative test list up to 4 weeks in advance, and final decisions are due 2 weeks before the test.

• After this point, a test that is not complete is considered an automatic "RETRY" and you will be charged the fee for the test. 

• PLEASE LET YOUR COACH KNOW IF YOU WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ON THAT DATE. There may be opportunities to attend test days at other local area clubs.
