With a focus on skating, this club provides a platform for experienced skaters to refine their skills and extends a warm welcome to newcomers, including eager freshers looking to embrace the exhilarating world of skating.

Among the diverse range of activities organized by the club, three main disciplines take the spotlight:

Roller Hockey: This engaging activity combines skating skills with team strategy. Skaters participate in roller hockey matches, showcasing their ability to navigate the rink while working cohesively with teammates to achieve a common goal. The fast-paced nature of roller hockey fosters not only individual skill development but also teamwork and coordination.

Skateboarding: The club provides a platform for skateboard enthusiasts to indulge in their passion. Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it's an art form that involves mastering various tricks and techniques. The club's skateboarding activities allow members to experiment, learn, and grow as they ride their boards and perform impressive maneuvers.

Speed Skating: For those who revel in the thrill of speed, the club offers the exhilarating world of speed skating. This discipline demands technical finesse and physical endurance. Members have the opportunity to refine their speed skating techniques, participate in friendly races, and embrace the adrenaline rush that comes with gliding swiftly across the skating surface.

The club's impact extends beyond its members. During the summer and winter breaks, the Skating Club organizes workshops aimed at introducing the world of skating to the students of the campus school. These workshops not only provide an engaging and productive way for the young learners to spend their vacations but also serve as a means to foster an early interest in skating. By engaging with the campus school students, the club actively contributes to the growth of a skating culture within the wider IIT Kanpur community
