The lights are low, the floor is glowing, and Delaware has a winter sport again. Race team, shuffle crew, speed shop — and a seat in the members' area with your name on it.
Meet & Greet SessionsOne club, two portals and a shop. Pick your door — speed, shuffle, or both.
Delaware Ignite is the club's speed team, and it lives on its own site: skater profiles, race-night standings, the weekly rhythm. The Flyers race in three tiers — Spark kids to a travel elite — and a second Flyers team opens in phase two, so the two teams race each other all winter.
Enter the Speed Portal →The adult shuffle crew under the disco lights, with Twigs & Pebbles for the kids — the crew's own page: what shuffle is, crew nights, and how to join. Battles, crew nights, the light show the way it used to be.
Enter the Shuffle Portal →Skates, wheels, bearings, big duffel bags, hats — a real one-stop shop in the back of the rink. Member pricing beats anywhere else. Skaters buy where they skate.
Step Inside →Spark is where the fire starts — our youngest racers, roughly 8–12, their own skates (or rink rentals) and a helmet is all they need. Then League racing under the lights every Wednesday, and a travel team carrying Delaware up and down the coast. Standings, rivalries, a championship — a real season, October 1 to April 1.
6:00–8:30 PM — coaching night, all tiers
6:30–9:00 PM — the weekly card, lights up
5:30–7:00 PM — Sticks & Stones
Daytime events & races, workouts when school's out
Club instructors inside the rinks' own lesson time — shuffle with music, dance skating, first speed steps. Corey teaches.
Giving back to the community — reviving speed skating and shuffle in Delaware. Every penny goes back into the club. Rink staff skate free, because they're family. And when kids outgrow it — they will, and they should — Spark rotates the next ones in, and the graduates become junior crew and coaches. The floor never empties; it renews. Every race night is filmed, and every skater gets a profile page with their clips, right here.
Three lines of colors — Club, Ignite, Sticks & Stones — real garments on real photos. Nothing cheesy, ever. Our gear partners, the people we do business with:
Bont · Riedell · Southeastern Skate Supply · RC Sports · Bones Bearings · Roller Derby / Pacer — with Sure-Grip, Luigino, Atom, Labeda, KwiK, Vanilla & Snyder joining as accounts open.
