Through our partnership with Garden State Speedskating Club (GSS), we offer world-class short-track speedskating training to beginners and advanced speed skaters ages five (5) years and older. Short-track speedskating can be learned at any age, regardless of experience. Hockey, inline, or figure skating experience is helpful but not required. Our members include 5-year-old aspiring tiny tots to 70+ year-old multi-nationals. Joining is easy; follow these basic steps:
