Pilot Program

September 12 - November 7
Thursdays 6pm-8pm

This is a non-contact, beginner skate program designed to teach participants how to skate (stride, forward, backward, lateral) fall safely, and stop proficiently. Curriculum is centered around the goal of passing WFTDA minimum skills requirements and progressing to contact-level skating, where they can learn how to play the sport of Roller Derby. In addition to on-skate practices, participants will have opportunities to learn about the rules and gameplay in group discussions.

If Roller Derby isnt your personal goal, Thats great too! This program will provide you the necessary skills to skate safely in whatever way brings you joy! Were excited that you've chosen to work hard, get sweaty and laugh with us!
