If you are joining our team for the first time this season, WELCOME to the team and the sport of Inline Speed Skating. Inline speed skating is an exciting and challenging sport. It takes a lot of patience, determination and HARD WORK to be good at speed skating. I think you will find the extra effort is worth it! If you are a veteran of the team, welcome back to an exciting new season!

Beginners You've been wanting to try your hand at speed skating but are a bit intimidated by all the "fast" skaters at practice... RELAX! We all started at the same point you are right now... There is no need to feel intimidated. Regardless of age, sex, physical condition, etc. we will welcome you and work with you. Before you know it you'll be in the middle of the pack battling for placement with the rest of the skaters! So c'mon, give us a try! The first lesson is on us, you don't have to pay anything... just show up with your skates and a helmet and we'll help you get started! Have questions? Shoot us an email.
Intermediate Maybe you were on a speed team once before for a short period of time and for whatever reason you decided to quit, the rink closed, the program shut down, whatever... you have some knowledge of what speed skating is all about and you've been thinking of joining again. Well now's your chance! C'mon out, give us a try! Maybe you're an outdoor racer who has never raced indoors before... we'll help you with the transition! Forget racing... maybe you just want to stay in shape... well you too are invited! Did you know inline speed skating can burn as much as 600 calories per hour? It's one of the best ways to lose weight or to stay in shape!
"Seasoned" So you've skated on a team before, competed, quit for a while and are ready to give it another shot. Well now's your chance! No matter what your goals are, we will help you achieve them! Maybe your team disbanded and left you hanging... maybe your team lacks the dedication to take you where you want to go... maybe you're just ready for a change... a different style of coaching and team atmosphere... you've come to the right place. If you are "seasoned" and ready to take it to the next level... c'mon out and give us a shot!
Absolutely Serious No more games, no more showing up at the rink for practice only to find practice was cancelled... it starts to sprinkle outside and everyone goes home... you never know when the next meet is until it's time to pay meet fees... are you ready to get serious? Do you dream of winning Nationals, going on to the World Championships... even farther? Temper your dreams and factor in your current situation... does your coach understand what YOUR personal goals are? Has he/she developed a training and nutritional program to coincide with your dreams? Do you know what it takes to progressively get better? Are you combining the latest off-skate training techniques with progressive on-skates training, incorporating cross-training segments, nutritional meal calendars, imagery, etc... can you tell me what is on the training schedule for tomorrow, what you should be eating for lunch next Wednesday, what exercises you will be doing 6 months from now... if you or your coach don't understand YOUR goals and your coach does not have a plan specifically for you... you will probably never reach your full potential. DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR LIMITS? My guess is you do not.
Isn't it about time you got serious?
We don't claim to be any better or worse, more or less knowledgeable, more or less aggressive than other teams or coaches... We will however commit to giving you every opportunity to realize your goals through a disciplined, structured, training program and will make every attempt to be there for you when you need us.
