Speed Skating Core Programs

Skaters who already have good skating skills can join the core speed skating program stream.

2019-2020 programs start up the week of October 1st.  Registration is open now at the links below.

Skills Development Program

Recreational 14+ Program

For the skater who loves to go fast, skills development is the key.  With learning still focused on the fun of participating in sport, key skills are developed through instruction, drills, games and fun racing.  Skaters continue through progressively more advanced skills development, working their way through the various levels of the Speed Skating Canada Cutting Edge Pin Program.  Skaters can continue into the Recreational 14+ Program, or the Competitive Program.

Helmets and short track speed skating safety equipment are mandatory for this program.  We have some equipment that may be borrowed when trying this program for the first time.

The Skills Development program is offered Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:10 - 7:50 PM.



Fees:

Tuesdays / Thursdays / Both days

Fall session:      $180 / $165 / $300

The recreational program is for skaters (14+) with good skating skills who want to try speed skating or improve their speed skating skills, and may enjoy competing, but on a recreational basis.  This program provides technical instruction, conditioning training, and fun but challenging activities.
