The Bay State Speedskating Club (BSSC) is a nonprofit club managed by its members, responsible for the training in the Boston and Providence area. We sponsor training sessions, learning clinics, and races. As a group, we support and encourage people of all ages and skill levels.
HOW DO I START? Come to one of our ice sessions!
If you know how to skate or want to learn, come to a session! We have coaches on the ice leading our skaters through a fun workout whenever we have ice. Our coaching staff includes former Olympians, National Champions and World Team members. Because we have skaters of all levels on the ice, we are able to ensure that everyone skates with a small group of skaters with similar abilities.
Bring a pair of skates (you can use hockey or figure skates), a bicycle helmet, soft knee pads, gloves and long sleeve clothing. With advanced notice, we might be able to help find a pair of skates for a trial basis.
Walk on-sessions cost $25 for first time skaters. Reduced rates are available for regular skaters and walk-on rates increase after the first session. See the appropriate Ice Training schedule (Fall/Winter or Summer) for more information on membership, ice rates, ice times and directions.
