​So you want to try Speed Skating

You've watched the British short track speed skating team at the Olympic games and you've thought I want to be the next star. Well you can! Come along and give it a try, with us at the Nottingham Ice Racing club (NIRC), in the National Ice Centre.
Picture
Anyone can try it out from 5 years old to over 55.

See if you can get up to 30 mile per hour on a 1 millimeter thick blade (maybe not at first)!

​Just come with enthusiasm, fun and throw in a competitive spirit and we'll will see where we can take you...
​Check this video out to find out more about the sport...
