Speedskating is a great sport with many options to choose from, including short track, long track, pack, time trials, marathon, sprints, indoor, outdoor, intense, and recreational. Most of all, speedskating is an individual sport that lets you choose the options and levels you want to pursue.
Speedskaters range from ages 6 to 70. Some start by joining learn-to-skate programs and get hooked on skating fast without worrying about pads, playing time, a puck, or fancy spins. Others tag along with friends or family members, or decide they want to follow a goal like competing in the Olympics. Hockey players come after games or practice because they want to improve their speed and power, or just for the thrill of skating fast. For figure skaters it is an unchoreographed change of pace. Speedskating will help you to improve your over all skating technique. By learning how to use the whole length of the blade, you will achieve better, stronger and faster speed.
