Looking for a taste of roller derby?
The SDD invites you to wRECk League, a fun, low-pressure, low-impact workout, skating class and recreational roller derby for women and men ages 18 and over. WRECk League is a place where injured or retired skaters can ease into skates and where beginners and referee hopefuls can build derby skills in preparation for SDD tryouts.
We meet 8-10 p.m. Tuesdays (basic skills and cardio) at the Garden City Gym, 160 Priscilla Thomas Way/Wheat Hill Road. There will be three sessions offered in 2013:
* Session I - February 3 - May 7
* Session II - May 14 - Aug. 13
* Session III - August 20 - Nov. 12
Participants must be at least 18 years old. They must use a helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads and a mouth guard. (Loaner skates and gear are available for free use.) Use of tailbone or hip protective shorts is optional.
The cost is $50 for the semester or $7 per class.
