Club Fees for 2022-2023 are the same. Members who join by September 1, 2022, will receive a 10% Early Bird Registration Discount on Club Fees. 

RDLSSC Programs follow the Speed Skating Canada Long Term Participant/Athlete Development Model (LTPAD). Skaters are placed in Groups based on their ability and age. New Skaters are placed in Group 1 and evaluated for ability throughout the season. The following table details the Club Programs and is updated in the summer each year.

Please Note: All adults are required to join the Club as Members (Volunteers/Associates, Officials, and Coaches). For more information, see the Club's Registration page.

Club Registration is open now through IceReg. For more information, see our Registration page or the Red Deer Lions' SSC Ice Reg Portal.

Skaters in this program must be able to skate (unassisted around a hockey rink). 

This is a Learn to Speed Skate program that integrates young skaters who are new to Speed Skating into our youngest speed skating group. Skaters in this program will skate with Group 1 once a week on Tuesdays or Thursdays from October through December (on-ice time: 5:45pm). Skaters in this category are also eligible to attend Meets. A great first meet for new skaters is our Red Deer Short Track Meet in November! New, Introductory, skaters can also choose 2 Nights a Week! 

For Youth or Adult Skaters who wish to skate with the Club and are not new to Speed Skating.

For skaters who wish to skate 1 or 2 Nights a Week as a recreational or competitive skater. Advanced Competitive Skaters may (in some seasons) have the option of skating 3 Nights a week. Higher-level skaters who qualify for CanWest or CYLT will be upgraded, upon qualification, to Provincial/Territorial Athletes and invoiced for the fee difference. 

All Club Athletes are encouraged to participate in our Club's Meets in November (Short Track) and January (Long Track) as well as in any Speed Skating Alberta sanctioned local meets (e.g. Rocky Mountain House, Edmonton, Calgary) as a fun, learning experience for kids of all ages. Meet Registration will be through IceReg (separate links for each Meet) and information will be emailed to the Club Roster. 

All regular programs (unless otherwise noted) include the use of one short-track pair of speed skates needed for most competitions and practices. Higher-level athletes may need to purchase additional equipment. For higher-level athletes skating 2 or 3 nights a week who own their skates, there is a "with Equipment" program option in the online registration system.

Families can register online for the full season (Oct-Mar) or for a half-season. Speed Skating Alberta and Speed Skating Canada Category fees are paid in full and Club Fees/Skate Rentals are divided in half for Fall/Winter registrations.
