Preparing For Test Day:
•Approximately 4 weeks before test day, your coach prepares a list of potential tests.
•The list is forwarded to the Test Chair who in turn submits the test list to Skate Canada.
•If you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming test day, you should discuss with your coach at this time.
•Your coach will have until 2 weeks before the first scheduled test day to decide whether or not the skater is ready to take the test on test day.
•If he/she feels that the test is not ready to be tried, the test will be "PULLED".
•There is no charge for tests that are pulled at least 2 weeks prior to test day.
•Any test that is not pulled 2 weeks prior to the first scheduled test day are included in the final submission to Skate Canada and must be paid for, according to Skate Canada rules.
•Once the final test lists are received by the Test Chair, test fee sheets are prepared and forwarded to the coaches for distribution.
•Please ask your coach for your test fee sheets, test fees must be paid one week before the scheduled test day.
•The test fee sheets and payment should be enclosed in an envelope and deposited in the mail box inside Pad 2 marked "TEST DAY”.
•Only tests that have been paid by the deadline date will be included in the test day schedule.
•Tests that have not been paid for by the deadline date will be submitted to Skate Canada as a "RETRY". The skater will still be responsible for the fee.
•The schedule will be posted on the Lindsay Skating Club website (www.lindsayskatingclub.com) and on the bulletin board at the arena, one week prior to test day.
Test Day:
•Skaters should be in the arena ready to test at least 30 minutes before their scheduled test time.
•**Skaters missing their scheduled test time will not be permitted to test at a later time.**
•They should be lined up at the door to the arena ready to go as soon as the group before has finished.
•It is important that skaters move on and off the ICE QUICKLY in order for the test day to run on schedule.
•Test results will be released to coaches/skaters only after all paperwork has been signed and checked by the evaluators.
•There are sometimes delays in this process and your patience is appreciated.
