Inline Racing with USA/RS...

Our national governing body is USA Roller Sports.  USA/RS divides the US into 9 competitive regions.  Olympic Speed is a part of the Eastern Region (PA, NJ, & DE).  The Eastern region's is lucky to have the Keystone Speed League.  This indoor Speed League's season runs Oct through May, with about one league meet per month.  Skaters build points for their placements at each meet. At the season's end, trophies & prizes are awarded the top 3 to 5 skaters in each division.  The indoor season climaxes with the Eastern Regional Championship (and qualifying) in May or June, and Finally our National Championship Event in July.  The 2009 USARS National Championship will be held in Peoria IL.
