New Skater Program

Our New Skater Program is geared towards those skaters who can comfortably stand, stride forward, and stop on quad roller skates. Sessions are Mondays and Wednesdays 6-8 PM for 5 weeks. We offer multiple sessions throughout the derby season (September - May).

Upon successful completion of the New Skater Program, skaters will be eligible to join a team for the remainder of the season.
