Details

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.

About this location

We're based at The Thunderdome, our training and bouting venue on King Street, Oldham. The entrance is a purple door opposite Halfords. This building had at one time been Riley's Pool Hall, and Butterflies Nightclub, but had been disused for some time. Last summer, our roller girls took to work to transform it into a rollerskating venue.
