Skaters, refs, volunteers—
we need you!

Derby girls come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. Fishnets, tattoos and piercings are not required—some of us have them, some of us don’t. Some of the girls on the roster are lifelong athletes, others had never tried a sport outside of gym class.

To be a skater:

  • You must be female
  • You must be 21 or older
  • you must have health insurance and USARS insurance ($55 a year)
  • You must sign a waiver that says when you get hurt you won’t sue us into oblivion
  • You must be able to attend at least 75% of our events. Right now, we practice twice a week, eventually it will increase.
  • You will need quad skates, a helmet, mouth guard, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards. We can help you choose the right gear for derby—there are starter derby packages available for around $175.

We charge $35 a month in dues to cover rink rental fees. You don’t have to be a great skater—we can teach you the skills you need. We’re looking for women who are determined and willing to push themselves.

Think you’ve got the right attitude?

To be a ref:

  • You may be male or female

  • You must sign a waiver that says when you get hurt you won’t sue us into oblivion
  • You will need quad skates, a helmet, mouth guard, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards.
