What is Speed Skating?

In a nutshell - 'Go fast, turn left!'

Speed skating is a hugely rewarding sport that will test your strength, endurance and stategic thinking. Though it's an individual sport, skaters proudly represent their club, and team spirit is important!

In NZ there are three types of track - flat, road and banked.  Races include anything from a 100m dash to a full marathon and everything in between. Speed skating is as much a mental challenge as it is physical, and will help develop perseverance, determination and self esteem. 

There is a lot of opportunity to compete throughout the year, for all levels of experience. The community in NZ is seriously cool, which makes competing fun and exciting!
