Earlier this summer, Speed Skating Canada published Racing On Skates - the final report of its competition and events system review. This report outlines SSC's direction "towards developmentally appropriate programming for speed skaters of all ages".
The content demonstrates an improved awareness of the role of masters skaters and holds promise for the future of masters participation in our sport.
Masters are included in a stage titled "Active for Life" which includes participants as young as 14 for females and 15 for males. Key recommendations for suitable programming are outlined on page 50.
Page 121 outlines developmental recommendations for the Active for Life stage including recreational competition, volunteering, fitness and fun participation.
Appendix 4, on page 140, presents "ideas" for the Active for Life stage based on competitive skating, racing on skates, health and expert participants/volunteers.
Masters are encouraged to study this report which will be the basis of formal program recommendations for the 2010/11 season.
