AZ ROLLER DERBY PRESENTS: New Recruit Summer Skate Workshops
Throughout July and August, AZ Roller Derby will be running Summer Skate Workshops every Thursday from 7-7:30 PM. The sessions will include basic skate skills and be guided by roller derby coaches and All-Star skaters. Sessions are open to women (18 and over with proof of insurance) of all abilities and backgrounds. Men interested in getting involved are also welcome. This is an easy way to release that deep-seeded desire to become a kick-ass roller derby ass kicker. Come to the workshops and discover why the latter sentence is understated rather than redundant.
You will need:

  1. To have been alive for 18 years – 18 years, 9 months (depending on your political persuasion).
  2. Have proof of insurance coverage.
  3. Quad roller skates (no rollerblades) and protective gear (helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards) are a plus, but rentals and loaners will be available. You should provide your own mouth guard.
  4. A desire to succeed at one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

You do not need:
  1. Skating experience.
  2. Tattoos, piercings or a proclivity for any particular type of music.

AZ Roller Derby was founded in 2003, making it one of the oldest flat track leagues in the nation. AZ Roller Derby is also a charter member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, the only national governing body to regulate interstate play for flat track roller derby.

All of our skaters are volunteers who devote countless hours to practicing, promoting and publicly competing in this high-octane sport. Every element of this new style of roller derby is real, and each participant a part of a dynamic group of females. From teachers to bankers and home-makers to atomic scientists, the organization is owned and run by women determined to revive this classic American sport on their own terms.
