“I just love to skate fast. My other favorite sport is hockey, but speedskating is just DIFFERENT. And my friends think it’s really, really cool! They always ask me if I will be in the Olympics some day….”

Franklin Park Speedskating Club Franklin Park, Illinois
Franklin Park Speed Skating Club was established over 10 years ago, skating out of the Franklin Park Ice Rink.
The club focuses on developing skaters at any age to reach their fullest potential in short track speedskating. It
boasts two highly-trained, Level 2 certified-U.S. Speedskating coaches that attend every practice to work with
and train the skaters.
What makes us different from other clubs is that we keep our coach-to-speedskater ratio low, in order to ensure
that all speedskaters receive the attention they need to develop their natural talents and continuously improve
their speedskating skills.
One or both coaches attend each speedskating meet, both at the local and national level, in order to provide the
one-to-one coaching that makes maximum use of every competitive race situation.
Several of our skaters have reached the elite level of the sport, including National Champions and Olympians.
It Happened. February 10, 2010. Rink at Wrigley.
