Here's some info on our Learn To Speed Skate program.
Who can join? We welcome all ages. Learn to Speed Skate (L2SS) participants range in age from 5-65 and beyond, most having some previous skating experience, but all ages and skill levels are welcome. There is space below in the registration form where your providing insight in to skating experience would be appreciated, to help with planning for our coaches. Speed skating includes all ages, with lots of training, racing and
coaching training opportunities for teens and adults. It doesn’t matter if your interest in speed skating is for recreation and
exercise, racing, or if you are just curious - all are welcome.
What about skates? We have a large inventory of new
and gently used speed skates to fit all sizes.
Skate use is included in the registration fee.
What about gear? Safe speed skating includes gear!
