How Do I Join NCSA?

Can I learn to speed skate? Yes! Speed skating is open to all skill levels and joining Northern California Speedskating Association (NCSA) is simple! We offer both professionally coached on ice sessions and dryland training (off-ice workouts)—each designed to build essential speed skating skills.

We have beginner, intermediate and advanced teams, with our advanced team competing at the national championship level across many age groups.
