Skaters in our Special Olympics program train on an integrated basis in programs at their skill level, with Special Olympics coaches. Both learn to skate and speed skating programs are available. Participants can use speed skates from our inventory for these programs.
Participants can enjoy speed skating as a recreational activity, and for those interested in competition, there are Special Olympics classes at local and regional short track and long track meets as well as Special Olympics events at the provincial and national level.
