No experience is necessary, and we have skates and gear to borrow.
What to Expect
Trying something new can feel a little intimidating, especially with roller skates involved. But we remember what it was like to be brand new and we’ll help you get comfortable at your own pace.
Practices are about building skills, learning roller derby and having fun with friends. You don’t need to know how to skate before you join.
Bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothes you can move in. You’ll meet the team, get comfortable with your gear, and start learning the basics in a supportive environment.
Your first on-skates practice is free!
You just need to show up and be willing to try!
No skates or gear required
We have skates and protective gear you can borrow to get started. Just bring your water bottle and comfortable clothes.
No pressure, no expectations
You don’t have to be athletic, you just have to be willing to try. There’s a place for all skills here on and off the track.
No experience needed
You don’t need to know anything about roller derby or even how to skate. We can teach you everything you need to know.
Everyone 18+ welcome
We are an inclusive league and welcome people of all genders, identities and backgrounds.
