Learn to Speedskate Year-Round--Choose up to 6 Sessions a Week!

Potomac Speedskating Club Membership Inquiries

Short-track speedskating can be learned at any age. We require that skaters be at least 5 years old, but beyond that, we welcome anyone who wants to skate fast and have fun.  We encourage adult skaters as well as special needs skaters to participate fully in our club too.  Hockey skaters, inline skaters and figure skaters can become proficient short-track skaters in less time than those who have no prior skating experience, but the majority of our skaters start as novice skaters. 

Skaters train year-round both on and off the ice--this is called "dryland training" and is very important in developing the back and leg muscles and techniques specific to short track. Beginner skaters are welcome at all six weekly training sessions at the Wheaton Ice Arena, Cabin John Ice Rink and The Gardens Ice House .
