Speed Skate 1

Speed Skate 1 (SS1) registration is now open for a start date of early October. Only a few spots remain (max 17 skaters per class) so please register soon to avoid disappointment.

SS1 is for kids approximately 5-8 years old. Starts, stops, basic position and technique are introduced by non-competitive games of sustained activity. Parents will not be allowed on the ice this year due to the NWTASSA Safe Return to Skate Guidelines.
