Fundamentals of Speed Skating

We have decided as a club to offer a new opportunity for skaters to try out the sport of Speed Skating. Our Thursday night ice session, “the Fundamentals of Speed Skating” will be open to non-members to try out the sport. The expectation is that anyone who joins is at least 8 years old, can independently skate and has the desire to improve their skating skills. 

These ice times will have a slightly different focus than our regular ice sessions but will benefit all skaters to further develop their skills. The focus will be on; balance, strength, agility and endurance, while infusing the basics of Speed Skating. 

We are hoping that with a balance of club members and new members to the sport (Minimum 12 skaters, maximum 25), we will be able to deliver a program that suits everyone’s needs and promotes our sport to new skaters. Participants will be able to wear hockey or speed skates but figure skates will not be permitted as that style of skating does not line up with the skills that will be taught.
