2025-2026 Try Dates are being scheduled. Please check back.

GMSA is offering Try Speedskating sessions at the Roseville Oval.

SIGN UP FOR A FREE TRIAL SESSION 

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ABLE TO SKATE UNASSISTED AND BE COMFORTABLE ON SKATES. Skaters would be best served by taking Learn to Skate lessons to master skating on the edges of the blades. Speed skating will be more enjoyable if those basics are acquired before trying speedskating.

If you cannot attend one of the sessions above, please register and select “Contact me when additional Try Speedskating Sessions are available.” And we’ll be sure to keep you updated on future opportunities.
