So you want to be a Sick Town Derby Dame and have decided to show up at practice and see if you’ve got what it takes.  Here’s what you’ll need to know before you show up to your first practice.

Things You Should Bring to Practice

·         Thick crew or knee-high socks.

·        Plenty of water or your favorite sports drink.

·        Comfortable workout attire.  FYI - Jeans do not allow the freedom of movement that will be required during practice.  Cotton leggings or athletic shorts/skorts work best.

·        Energy: be prepared to fall a lot and have a fun time doing it.

·        Work Ethic: be prepared to work hard and give it your all for your volunteer skater coaches; they’ve put in a lot of prep work and would rather be skating with you instead of running practice.

·        Good Attitude: don’t be critical/judgmental/impatient of yourself or others; we’re all learning!

Other Things You Should Know

·         Derby is old-school, meaning quad skates only.  No inline rollerblades allowed.

·         Please show up 20 minutes early to your first practice to allow time to fill out forms and to get your gear on.

·         Dues are $30/month per skater due by the end of the first week of the month.

·         Sports Insurance is $55/year per skater.  PLEASE NOTE:  Sports Insurance does not take the place of regular health insurance.

·         You are responsible for your own gear.  We do have rental skates and protective gear available in limited sizes and quantities to borrow, but it is best to get your own ASAP.

·         To become scrimmage eligible, you must pass skating skills assessment and pass a written test based on WFTDA rules.

·         To remain scrimmage eligible, you must attend at least two practices per week.
