DROP-INS

Who can drop in with VVSSC?

VSSC accepts drop-in skaters to practices only if:

  1. You are registered as a member skater with another speed skating club in Canada that provides insurance for you to be on the ice, and
  2. You have all the mandatory skating equipment already, and
  3. Space is available in the practice 

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate drop-ins from those who have no experience speed skating. These skaters should explore our Try Speed Skating options instead.

If skaters are not a good fit with the training group,  VVSSC will not allow the drop in to continue and will return tickets accordingly.

When can skaters drop in?

  • Regular practice times, plus holidays and Pro-D days where we have extra ice
  • Schedules for extra ice days are at the bottom of  our Practice Schedule page.
  • See our Printable Calendar for confirmed and unconfirmed extra ice days.

How to register

Sign up to drop in

All drop-in skaters must buy tickets through EventBrite (button at left) to attend their desired session. Ticket sales close one minute in before the end of each practice time. If you do not have a ticket through EventBrite for your desired practice, you cannot drop-in with the club for that practice.

 

Waitlist

Each date has a number of tickets available for drop-in spots at each session. Once the tickets are sold out, there are no more spots available and a waitlist will appear. Add your name to the waitlist and if someone withdraws from their drop-in spot, you may be sent an email to register. You will need to register within 2h to claim your spot or we will move to the next person on the waitlist.

Arriving at the rink

Please check in with a coach or board member when you get to practice and they will inform you of any club protocols or needed information.
