The mission of the International Speed Skating Federation (ISSF) is to promote the sports of inline and ice speed skating worldwide. Ingrained in this mission is the desire to enhance the virtues of responsibility, commitment, and accountability in all skaters, and make them healthier through participation in either or both of these sports. The ISSF also plans to make these sports affordable to anyone who wants to skate; develop more sites where skaters can practice and compete; and provide Web-based information about facilities and competitions.
