No previous skating experience necessary. We can teach you to roller skate on quad skates, and if you like it, you can learn to play roller derby, an all-female, full-contact sport.
If you are over 18 years, if you feel like you need a new challenge, if you want to learn what life on 8 wheels is like; then we want you.
We also have opportunities for male skaters to train as referees. Guys, please come down too.
Wear comfortable clothing (leggings and a t-shirt). Skates and safety equipment are provided.
