Hello,
I am interested in joining TISC in April. I would like to know how long are the training sessions in average (beginners) and how much is the one-year membership. Thank you for your time,
Monica

On average, training sessions are about 2 hours long. We typically run three groups – 1) learn to speed skate, 2) intermediate and 3) elite. The program structure for 2009 has yet to be determined and may change slightly. As soon as the board of directors and coaches decide on the programs – I’ll post it to the website and the user forums. Skaters will most likely be placed in a group based on how many show up to each practice and their ability level.
The fee structure varies a little depending on the month you join the club. There are also family discounts available. Last season (2008) the full year membership was $105.

Hi there- you can find all the necessary information on the right hand side of this website.
Make sure you bring forms, skates, helmet, and wrist protection to the practice.
If it’s raining, practice will be cancelled. Remember that the practices take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays and being at 6pm. Look on the right hand side for directions-

Hi, I used to be a national roller skater in India. I came across your website and I am very pleased to have found it. I am interested in buying second hand, custom made inline skates and was wondering if you could direct me in the right direction.
May 27, 2009 at 12:41 am |
Priyanka, by definition, custom made means that they are built to the specification of the skater. This implies, that unless your foot is exactly the same shape as the person who the skates were made for – they will not fit you. It’s not a good idea to buy custom made skates made for someone else. The most popular skate manufacturers are all on the web, a quick search of google should find you many. The most popular are Bont, Luigino, Powerslide, Rollerblade and Simmons. In Canada, there are only a handful of custom boot makers. http://www.egcskates.com/ is the only custom speed boot maker in the Toronto area and is currently not taking any orders for 2009.

Hi,
I want to learn how to in line skate. I have never tried it before. Is this the right place for me?
May 27, 2009 at 12:37 am |
Fabi – this is primarily a racing/speed skating club and we cater to participants with at least intermediate skating skills. If you are a beginner, I’d suggest taking some lessons from one of the local skate instructors. If you check our forms or post there – someone can direct you. You can also google: Stephen Fisher – he’s a well known instructor in Toronto.

Hey,
Sorry to spam multiple sources (I’ve already posted on the forums). I live in Waterloo, and am considering commuting for occasional practices but won’t be able to make it consistently. Does it matter which practices I show up for, and if so, could you recommend one that would be a good first time out? I’m not sure how much training sessions vary. I’ve skated for a long time, but am new to speed skating. If it doesn’t matter when I show up, please say so and I’ll be happy to just drop in.
Thanks,
-Brock
