Hi,
I just moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and am looking to get back to speed skating after an 8 year break! Does any one know of any clubs in the area that I could join? Cheers, Aaron |

No, he has the times correct. Living in Indianapolis area and Midwest all my life those are the times that I would have expected. Usually Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday nights at that time is normal for adult skates.
You may call rinks close to you and inquire if they have (unadvertised Senior or Adult skates-uncommon but possible) during the day or if they have a skating club that has daytime hours. |

There are three teams that I’m familiar with. There’s a team at the rink in West Chester. There’s a pretty well established team at the rink in Vandalia. Lastly, I coach a brand new team at Orbit in Dayton(Huber Heights). You’re more than welcome to train with us.

We practice on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
But, we’re a very new team; like months old. I’m a former quad racer and the few skaters we have were recruited from Derby. We’re in the process of switching to inlines and though we’re learning quickly if you have experience you might not get the competition you require for a good workout. |

We practice on Saturday mornings now and the times vary depending on whether or not there are private parties or the Special Olympics is practicing at the rink. I post the practice times on our Facebook page. You can request access to that or just IM me and let me know what Saturday you're coming and I'll let you know the time. https://www.facebook.com/groups/orbitracing/ |
