General Requirements

• All skaters must join US Speedskating for insurance purposes. This includes new 1st time skaters.

General Participation

In order to make the most of the session we need to be ready to put the mats on as soon as the Zamboni is done and get them off timely at the end of the session. This will require all to help. Please arrive at least 30 minutes early to help with moving mats, obtaining your skates or help with paperwork. If you arrive late, we may not be able to help you as we want to be on the ice and skate too!

1. 1st time skaters one free session (for those who are new to skating).
2. 2nd and 3rd time $25 per session for adults, $15 per session for Juniors (17 and under).

Flushing Meadows Speed Skating Club offers short track coaching at all levels, beginners through national-class racers. Even if you have limited skating experience, but are interested in trying the fastest aspect of the sport, come down and give it a try. FMSSC has a limited number of pairs of speed skates to lend out to first-timers. If you will need skates, please show up early. There is paperwork to fill out and it takes time to make sure we get a pair of skates that fit reasonably well. We want to skate too, so if there are too many who show up late, we will ask that you come back to the next practice.
