Practice sessionsSo you want to go fast? Slow down! You'll need a few things...
- US Speedskating membership. (A Competing Athlete or Individual membership is required for insurance purposes.)
- MASA membership.
- East Penn membership [pdf].
Check the practice schedule for a day that you would like to come. Practices are held at one of our two rinks.
Contact an East Penn officer to reserve a pair of speed skates, and to arrange to come at least half an hour early. Skates are available for a rental fee of $5/session. They are also available for lease on a limited basis, for a fee of $75 the first year and $100 thereafter, plus a $100 deposit.
Come prepared with all skin covered from the neck down, a helmet (bike helmet okay), and soft knee pads (pads used for volleyball are suggested).
Our club practices accommodate beginners, but you can also start with Learn to Speed Skate classes if you prefer.
