Membership in the Alaska Speedskating Club. All skaters who skate at more than two club practices or races need to become members. There's an individual membership ($40) and family membership ($80). Membership fees help pay for insurance, ice fees, new equipment and supplies, permits, coaching, etc. All skaters are also required to sign the club’s Code of Conduct and Liability Waiver (see those 2 programs below).

This is the Liability Waiver/Release for participating in club activities. There is also a Photo Release, which is encouraged but optional. All skaters must sign the Waiver/Release and the Code of Conduct (see next Program) for the current year prior to participating in practices or races. There is no fee for the Waiver/Releases or Code of Conduct.

All participants must read, accept and act in accordance with the AKSSC Code of Conduct. This assures that participants in AKSSC-sponsored activities behave with respect, fairness, and honesty toward others. There is no fee for the Code of Conduct.

This is the Short Track/Long Track Program. There is coached Short Track (ST) skating at the Kelly (O'Malley) Sports Center Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings from early-Sept to mid-March, and coached Long Track (LT) practices at the 400-meter oval in the Cuddy Midtown Park on Thursday evenings once there's ice on the oval, usually late November. Saturday ST sessions are 1.5 hours and Tuesday sessions are 1 hour. LT sessions are 1.5 hours. There are 52 scheduled ST sessions and 11 LT sessions, for a total of 63. Included in the program fee is ST and LT ice times, and coaching in both ST and LT skating. There are a variety of program fee options based on age, individual vs family, full vs half season, and regular vs occasional skating. The first half of the season runs from September 9 to December 9, 2023. The second half of the season runs from December 12 to March 23, 2024. There are reduced fees for young skaters, and scholarships if there is financial need. There is a 2-session introductory option. Monthly payment plans are available if you sign up for the full season. Skaters at all levels are welcome to join the program. (There is also a LT Only Skating Program--see below).

The Long Track Only program is open to adults and children. There is also a Short Track/Long Track program that is also open to all ages. The Short Track/Long Track program and the Long Track Only program are held concurrently on Thursday evenings at the 400-meter oval in the Cuddy Midtown Park. Once ice is laid on the oval the Long Track Skating program will begin. Ice is usually ready in late November or early December, and lasts until the end of February or early March. The first LT session is scheduled for Dec 7. The program consists of practices on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8. Certified speedskating coaches will lead each session. Several Thursday evenings will have LT races rather than practices. (There will also be 4 LT race days on Sunday afternoons.) There are a total of 11 LT practice sessions scheduled. The Long Track Only program welcomes skaters of all abilities.

The Club has a large selection of short track skates and safety gear, and a limited number of Cut Suits to rent to skaters. In addition to registering for skate and gear rental online, renters will need to sign an "Alaska Speedskating Club Skate and Safety Gear Rental Agreement" that lists the specific equipment rented at the time the equipment is picked up.
