Group 4 is for skaters who train regularly, including through the summer, to prepare for speed skating competitions at the provincial, regional, national and international levels.

During the season, regular practice times are Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Lions Arena and Wednesday and Saturday mornings at Merlis Belsher Place. During the long track season (mid-December – February) skaters train at Clarence Downey Oval generally 4-5 times per week.

Off-ice (dryland) training takes place prior (45 min) to most on ice sessions. During the off-season, skaters can participate in weight training and other dry-land training activities.
