Hello!
My son Aakash is 11 year old. He is doing speed Skating for last 2 years. He had taken part in inter school compititions.
I am visiting Toronto from 23rd May to 10th June’10. I would like to train my son at your facility from 31st May to 9th June’10. Please guide me how to go about it.
In my search for skating training in Toronto I had word with Stephen Fisher. He highly recomended TISC for Aakash’s training.

Sameer Karmarkar
Hello Sameer-
Make sure your son has skates, a helmet, wrist guard, and knee & elbow protection.
Consult with the website http://www.torontoinlinespeed.com in case practice is rained out or we need to change location.
The first practice is free- you need to be present to sign waivers. After that, each practice is $10. Forms are available when you come to the practice.
Practices usually begin at 6:30pm, so try to be there ahead of time to sign forms and be ready to skate. All the information about location is here: http://torontoinlinespeed.com/2010/04/01/2010-season-information-when-were-what/

Dear Peter Hello!
Thank you for your quick reply.
I went through your entire programme & I really liked it. Hence I would like Aakash to spend one additional week at TISC, instead of 31st May we will start on 24th May. I hope it will be OK from your end.
Since 24th May is Monday we will meet at Lawrence Park Collagiate Institute by 6:00 PM.
Kindly confirm the same.
Regards
Sameer
