Find a Club
Illinois is home to five speedskating clubs. Find the right club for your location, goals, and first practice.
Start with a message
The easiest first step is contacting the club closest to you. Ask about beginner practices, rental or loaner skates, what protective gear to bring, and whether a parent or adult beginner group is available.
