Do you love to skate fast and want to go faster?
Do you want to see your times get better as your skating improves? Would you like to compete against other people in our club and from other clubs?
We train at Stockbridge Leisure Centre, currently once a month on the first or second Saturday, 5-6:30pm. Our club is quite new and as numbers pick up, we intend to train more often.
Do I have to be a good skater already?
You need to be a confident skater to join the club, which means you can skate round the room, stop, and glide on one foot for 3 seconds. There is no minimum speed you need to be able to skate at. If you need to learn to skate, please sign up for lessons first.
What happens in a training session?
We will do time trials, practice techniques, increase fitness and do lots of racing. We always start with a 1 lap ‘Dobbin run’ to get an individual time, and based on that you will be put into smaller groups to race.
Competitions
We went to our first competition on 7th September in Leicester to compete against other clubs.
There is an indoor and an outdoor season for speed skating
- Indoors in sports halls from November to March
- Outdoors on cycle tracks from April to September
Come and join us!
