- 18+ years old
- Able to stand on skates unassisted
- Get up from a fall without help
- Skaters who identify with the WFTDA Statement on Gender: https://wftda.org/wftda-gender-statement
The skills covered include: standing and falling, stopping, and crossovers. More advanced skaters will learn backwards skating, lateral movement, and transitions (changing from forwards to backwards skating while rolling). While these are basic skating skills, they are taught through a roller derby lens and layered with light pack drills.
What you’ll need:
- Skates, Pads, Helmet – Don’t have your own? No sweat! Our gear lending library has you covered and loaners are included in your reservation for the program!
- Mouthguard – Sisu is our preferred brand because it can be remolded, We offer them for $20.
- Water bottle – hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
- Snacks – bring a small snack that will help give you energy. Protein bars are great.
We look forward to seeing you on the track!
