pace. Just like in school, you will have a strict curriculum
to follow. However, think of it as a self-paced course, the
more experience you come to us with, and the more practices
you attend, the faster you will move through the program.
Average range is 3-6 months.

Derby is for everyone. From our 95-lb Cinna-Ster, to our 6+ft

over 18 to play, however, we have skaters who are in their 50s
and beyond out on the floor and kicking butt! Come one, come
all, and welcome to Roller Derby!
