Active for Life (A4L; athletes and participants 12+)
This group is the “participant” in the Long Term Participant and Athlete Development model, and fits the Active for Life (A4L) component of the model. It is the goal of the PGBSSC to encourage everyone, including athletes, officials, volunteers, coaches, and administrators, to enjoy lifelong participation in the sport of speed skating. With this in mind, the Masters group includes skaters of all ages and abilities. Traditionally, this group has been composed of our adult skaters who enjoy the exercise and camaraderie of the sport (some even compete!) Everyone is welcome to join – no experience necessary!
