We are stoked to be hosting our annual Roller Derby 101 Program for 2026!
This program will focus on developing beginner skills when it come to roller skating and the sport of Roller Derby, ensure that skaters are able to control their bodies, fall safely, learn various ways to stop, and layer in some basic forms of contact towards the end of the series. Each practice will build off the previous so it is important that participants make an effort to make it to each practice if at all possible.
All participants must be 18+, all genders welcome.
Registration for this event is $75 payable via e-transfer to
