Get involved in speed skating

How to get involved in a winter sport with the Ayrshire Flyers Speed Skating Club
As next year’s Winter Games draw ever-closer, interest around the many sports that are included within the event begins to spark.
Short track speed skating
This particular discipline is a form of ice skating that relies on speed. Short track speed skating has been present in the Winter Games since 1992. Great Britain have only ever won one bronze medal since it began.
If you have a passion for for speed skating and live in or around Ayrshire, then the Ayrshire Flyers Speed Skating Club is the best place to try it out. The club’s coach, Archie Marshall is in fact a former Olympic speed skater himself – offering the best advice and training around.
What’s more, he coached both Elise Christie and Kathryn Thomson who are set to represent the nation next year.
