AMHERSTBURG ? The tests did not stop when school ended for some local young figure skaters.

Skate Amherstburg held a ?test day? Friday night at the UCCU Complex where 54 tests were conducted throughout the evening. Test chair Marlene Ryan explained that there were four disciplines the skaters were judged once their coaches put their names forth once the skaters were ready for testing.

The four disciplines the skaters were judged in include free skate, dance, interpretive and skills. Ryan said licensed judged from Skate Canada come in and judge each respective skater.

?It?s all run by volunteers,? said Ryan.

Skaters ranged from junior to senior level.

Skate Amherstburg has a 95 per cent pass rate, Ryan pointed out.

?It speaks to the quality of coaching the students are getting,? added Ryan.
