Our Programs
We offer two main programs – Monday 7pm-9pm and Wednesday 7pm-9pm. During Monday’s program, we focus on teaching roller derby basics such as proper skating form, strategies for game play and more. We also spend time working on speed and agility drills so that you can become a faster, more agile skater. On Wednesday evenings, we dive deeper into the sport with a skills & drills session followed by an opportunity to watch real scrimmages and ask questions about the game.
