Tuesday Dryland has been extended through July.

Tuesday: July 6,  13, 20, 27

July 6th at Cleveland Heights High School Track

Please start thinking about your individual goals for this upcoming season. Take a look at last year’s US Speedskating events or Events we posted. Do you expect to attend at meets this year? Dates will change but most events will be repeated at similar dates. Ask yourself what you want to improve upon and set a goal.

As a reminder, membership dues will be coming up. If you are skating this summer then we would like to get to up to date for the next season by end of July. If you will return in August then you can catch up on the paperwork then.

Cleveland Heights Speedskaters:

It has been great to see you on the ice this year.  Whether you are a new skater or a returning veteran it is the goal of CHSC to keep you involved in the sport and with each other for the two months that we are off the ice.  To that end:

Your continued participation in this sport requires off ice preparation, fitness and strength training in the form of pre-conditioning and dry land workouts.  CHSC is proud to support a coach-developed off-ice fitness program.  It is mandatory to participate in dry land this year in order to participate in the August US Speedskating sponsored two-day clinic held at our rink.

The amount of effort you put into summer base training, which including pre-conditioning, is directly proportional to the gains you will make when you get back on the ice.

PRECONDITIONING:  Open to CH skaters, new skaters, CH skater parents and 10+ year old siblings interested in skating

Objective:  Developed for the beginner to prepare for the higher-intensity dry land work out.  We will establish a warm-up routing, aerobic base, stretching, introduction to terminology, static exercises, balance work, strengthening & drills.

Wednesdays @ 7-8:30 PM
June 9

Tuesdays
June 15,22,29

DRY LAND TRAINING: open to all CH skaters

Other important stuff:

  • Dry land will be rain or shine
  • All sessions will meet outside the Community Center Rink entrance
  • Bring water bottle, snack for after and towel or yoga mat, athletic tennis shoes and appropriate clothing

Note:  $5 Coaches fee is appreciated and will be collected by a Club officer.  (Barb, Matt or Julie)  Cash or check made out to “Cleveland Heights Speedskating Club”.
