Speed Skating

About Speed Skating

Speed Skating promotes good health, and builds fitness and strength through dynamic full-body movement patterns.  Speed Skaters learn the importance of teamwork, persistence, organisation and goal-setting, in an environment of good sportsmanship that fosters both team and individual achievement.

As well as being great fun and an exciting challenge, Speed Skating is a great way to make new friends, keep fit, and learn new skills.

Skate Victoria offers programs of instruction, coaching and competitions for people wanting to get involved in Speed Skating at any age, and any level. Whether it is fitness, competition or simply a healthy, social activity you seek – you have come to the right place.

Victoria is home of the 2007 & 2008 Junior World Sprint Champion (Daniel Greig), as well as numerous Senior World Medallists and Australian Junior, Senior and Masters Team members – all of whom started out through Club-based instruction/coaching and moved through the ranks of Local competition.
