New Recruits

Have you ever thought about being a Derby Dame?  We’d LOVE to meet you!

Sick Town Derby Dames offers a New Skater Day on the Tuesday after each home bout all season long.  Join us for an orientation session that will tell you everything you need to know about our league, our practices, and best of all…HOW TO SKATE!  Once skaters have attended a New Skater Day, they are welcome to join in with regular practices.  Our league is open to any woman 21 years of age or older (there is no upper age limit, because you’re NEVER too old for derby!).

We have a limited amount of loaner gear, including skates, pads, and helmets.  These are offered on a “First come, first serve” basis.  Of course, the most common sizes go first, so get there early!  We recommend that you bring a helmet if you have one (any kind will do, including a bike helmet), since we only have a very few.

Helpful Info:

• Our practice location is not heated, so it can get very cold in the winter.  Dress in layers, such as tights, tall socks, leg- and arm-warmers, and maybe something to keep your neck warm.

• You will need a lot of freedom of movement, so opt for clothing that will allow you to comfortably flail around.  We recommend a lot of spandex!  Jeans are not the best option.

• Our practice space also lacks plumbing, so be sure to bring plenty of water!  We do have a Port-A-Potty.

• New Skater Day is divided into 2 parts – an off-skates orientation that will teach you everything you need to know about our league, and an on-skates portion that will teach you the basics of skating, stopping, and falling.
