What should you bring to a Calgary Roller Derby practice? Roller skates would be handy to have! Along with full gear (helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, mouthguard), a black and white shirt with your number, armbands, and proof of insurance. We follow WFTDA Rules, please see section 4 of the WFTDA Risk Management Guidelines if you have more questions: WFTDA Risk Management Guidelines
What kind of skills and drills can I expect? Each practice is run by a member of our Training Committee, who all have their own style, so no two practices are the same! We can guarantee that we always have fun and work hard. We begin each training with a warm-up and work our way into individual skills building and scrimmage-like drills. And if there’s time, we’ll scrimmage, too!
How can I pay the drop-in fee? You can e-transfer your $10 drop-in fee to duespayment@calgaryrollerderby.com with your full name and “drop-in” clearly in the notes field. We also accept cash.
What if I don’t have WFTDI insurance? That is ok, as long as you are an active member of another league, we will have waivers for you to sign. Please mention this to the trainers running practice.
