OK, I'm interested! What do I need to do to join?

1. Go to US Speedskating and sign up as an Individual member (first year is $30; $75 per year thereafter). If you are new to the sport and aren't certain if it is right for you, you may sign up for an Introductory First Time Trial Membership for $10. This membership is good for two months and can be upgraded within the two month period for an Individual Membership for $20. When you are checking your membership, please be certain that you are affiliated with the Garden State Speedskating Club, unless you belong to another club. If you are not, please contact USS or notify Bill Jamin to get it corrected.
2. Print your temporary membership card.
3. Print, read and sign the club's Release and Waiver of Liability .
4. Check the Rates page of this web site and decide if you want to pre-pay or pay as you go.
5. Bring to the arena on your first skate night:
   1. Signed Release and Waiver of Liability
   2. US Speedskating current membership card
   3. Completed GSSC Registration form (if you are new to the club or your information has changed)
   4. Cash or check for either your first night's dues or the pre-paid season dues
   5. Proper equipment
   6. Enthusiasm!

OK, I love this sport and I want to compete! Now what do I do?

The Garden State Speedskating Club is a member of the Middle Atlantic Skating Association (MASA). Through this association, athletes in our club are eligible to compete in both MASA and USSpeedskating (USS) sanctioned events. If you wish to compete, you must also join MASA. Go to MASA and download the form. First year membership is free; $15 per year thereafter. You can give the form and the membership fee to Al Harding or Bill Jamin.
