Officials & Coaching

Parents, former skaters, volunteers, and current members can all help build a stronger Illinois speedskating community.

Become an official

Learn the roles that help races run safely and consistently, from starters and referees to timers, clerks, and track support.

Support skater development through club coaching, national education resources, and local mentorship.

Parents and community members can help with check-in, awards, hospitality, lap counting, timing, and setup.

Help train, retain, and recognize the officials who make Illinois racing possible.

ASAI meets rely on many people. Not every role requires deep racing experience, and clubs can help new volunteers learn.

Registration and check-in

Clerk of course support

Lap counting

Track setup and pads

Timing and results support

Awards and hospitality

Static in v1. Replace with a real form service when ASAI is ready.

Public coaching materials from ASAI and club coaches can be promoted here as they are approved.

National official and coach training links live in Resources so they can be updated as ASAI approves materials.

Volunteers can help with communication, safety setup, and practice logistics so coaches can focus on skaters.

Shadowing experienced officials is one of the best ways to learn meet operations and build confidence.
