Skaters in this category are not eligible to attend Meets though they can be upgraded at any time.

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 register as Elite Members with AASSA/SSC. Please select the AASSA/SSC Category appropriate to your skater's level (e.g. Skaters who were Elite last year should register as Elite or Competitive and can be upgraded to Elite if need be; skaters who do not wish to attend any competitions can register as Participants).
All Club Skaters are encouraged to participate in Alberta Speed Skating sanctioned local meets (Red Deer Club Meets) as a fun, learning experience for kids of all ages. For families who do not wish to skate in any meets, Participant (non-competitive) Membership is available. Participants can be upgraded to Competitive if they wish to attend meets mid-season.
All regular programs (unless otherwise noted) include rental 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 nights a week who own their skates, there is a "no skates" program option in the online registration system.
Families can register online for the full season (Oct-Mar) or for a half-season. AASSA/SSC Category fees are paid in full and Club Fees/Skate Rentals are divided in half for Fall/Winter registrations.
