Frequently asked questions
​
I don't know how to skate. Like... at all. Can I still sign up for the class?
Absolutely! This class will cover the basic skills you need to become a roller derby skater. You do not need previous experience. All skills levels are welcome.
​
Do I have to know how to play roller derby?
Nope! You will begin with basic skating skills and progress towards learning the rules and strategies of the game. Experienced skaters interested in transferring should email training@miamirollerderby.com with the name of your previous league and experience level.
​
What can I do to get ready for the class?
Roller derby is physically and mentally demanding. You can prepare in advance by following our off-skates workout plan, which you will receive from our training director after registration. You will also receive a list of gear you will need with recommendations and a list of our sponsors so you can purchase your gear in advance. Finally, you can start checking out the game! Watch roller derby on YouTube or www.wftda.tv.
​
What should I expect on the first day?
The first day you will meet the team, receive an introduction to roller derby by watching an on-skates demonstration by current team members, then practice some of the concepts you just learned off-skates. Hydrate plenty throughout the day and wear comfortable athletic clothes/shoes because you will be active. Afterwards we typically go out for food as a team to learn more about each other and talk about the practice. Here’s what else you’ll want to bring:
-
Extra water
-
Your ID
-
Pen & notepad
-
Skates and safety equipment (if you have them already)
