You are Invited to experience the thrill of Inline or Quad Roller Speedskating at area speed practices. Speed Clubs participate in Regional, National, and International Racing Competition. The US Amateur Confederation of Roller Skating ( USAC/RS, now known as USA Roller Skating) and area Speed Clubs invite you to become a member of a fast growing sport. Opportunity to train at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. No Experience Needed, All ages ok, Male/Female ok. A number of inline speedskaters recently competed in the Nagano Winter Olympics (as ice speedskaters). Inline speedskating is expected to have its own summer olympic events soon. Speedskaters are starting to receive corporate sponsorship.

Presently speed practices are held in Port Hueneme (near Ventura), Orange, Rialto, and Riverside (Practice Times Listed Below). We are still searching for a racing track site in Santa Barbara for a 100 meter track or larger.
