Introduction to Speedskating Class (Sundays 4:30-5:30pm)

Did you know that there has always been at least one skater from Illinois on the US Olympic Speedskating Team? Ever wanted to see if you have what it takes to skate like an Olympian?  Join the Glen Ellyn Speedskating Club for a three week class and be introduced to the fundamentals of this exciting and fast paced sport.  Participants will learn proper speedskating body position, work on overall skating technique and will be introduced to the fundamentals of racing. Upon completion of the three week course participants will be eligible to enroll in one of our Club Programs.

Classes are $60 and include skate rental if you want to try speedskates (a $7.50 value)  Equipment required: Bicycle, hockey or other hard helmet, shin guards (like those used for soccer), knee pads (inline or volleyball work best), long sleeved shirt and long pants, and gloves.
