Since Skate Kingston has a large base of STARSkaters, skaters must be separated in
terms of their abilities, so that they are working on similar elements, but above all, they must
be separated in terms of speed, agility and numbers, for the safety of all skaters.
Skate Kingston created a four level skating matrix consisting of
Canskate, Junior, Intermediate and Senior. This matrix or model
fits the average or majority of skaters however we realize this standard / model will not fit
every skater perfectly, therefore exceptions will be considered as necessary, to shift a skater
either up or down a level as required.
When you register to skate with Skate Kingston, please reference
our skating level matrix when determining the appropriate STARSkate level for your skater.
Our matrix above reflects:
a. A CanSkater having achieved CanSkate Stage 4 may move up to Junior.
b. A Junior Level skater must move up to the Intermediate level upon
passing a second Skate Canada test.
c. An Intermediate Level skater can be working as high as Senior Bronze
Skills and Senior Bronze Dance.
d. A Senior Level skater
can be working on Senior Bronze Freeskate and Junior Silver Skills and
Dances or higher.
If a skater falls between two levels then it is the Freeskate Level that will determine the Skating
Level. Special requests to change skating level must be submitted in writing to the SK Board.

For reference or comparison, the matrix below corresponds
to the Skate Canada test level groups.
