The program *ill follow a for- mat designed by the Northern Lights Novice Speedskating Or- ganization, an association which was formed to introduce the sport of ice racing to beginning skaters. Nor- thern Lights is a volunteer organiza- tion conducted by parents and friends of skating who help provide instruction and conduct races (meets) for skaters ranging in age from 5 to 13 years. From this organization skating clubs are formed. The program is conducted by the parents in each community with Parks & Recrea- tion's role being to provide a facility and support. Skaters are divided into divisions according to their age and sex. Race distances are also divided up according to the age groups. Each participant skates two distances.
