Intro to Junior Derby - 4 Week Series
Welcome to Rose City Rollers Intro to Junior Derby. We are so glad you are here and thank you for your patience as we learn new ways to bring in new members.
In this series, you will skate for 1.5 hours a week for 4 weeks and learn basic derby skills. There is no contact in this stage of your derby journey. At the end of the 4 weeks, you will be **invited to become a full member of RCR and attend our larger format practices.
**Please note: Participants will be able to onboard with the league at our next orientation, if they so choose, at our next scheduled orientation January 5th after the Holidays.
While we would love to open this up to anyone interested, COVID restrictions say otherwise.
Who is this program for?
- Skaters who are:
-
- Able to stand on skates unassisted.
- Get up from a fall without help.
- Skaters able to wear a mask the entire time.
*Please note this series is open to mixed ages of 7-18 year olds. As vaccinations are not available to individuals under 12, there will be unvaccinated skaters attending these practices.*
At the end of the 4 weeks, you'll have a better understanding of what derby and RCR are all about.
