Please consider being a referee, time keeper, jeerleader, stat keeper, photographer, promoter…WE”LL FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU!!! What's it cost? Membership Expenses: Because we are skater owned and operated we are responsible for expenses incurred for doing derby business. We raise most of our money from sponsorships, bout productions and selling league merchandise. Some expenses must be absorbed by the skaters. All league members are required to obtain sponsors and this can be discussed if you choose to join H.A.R.D. Equipment Expenses: Each skater is responsible for obtaining her own equipment. For good quality protective equipment, plan on spending $150.00 to $200.00 to get started. Of course, you may be able to borrow or purchase used equipment. Talk to other skaters for advice BEFORE you purchase your equipment. Keep in mind that the quality of your equipment is very important! It protects your most important asset - YOU! Also, don’t let the cost of equipment scare you! Like everything else, as you get better so will your equipment! The minimum requirements are:
No one will be permitted to skate without the required safety equipment! NO EXCEPTIONS! SO DON’T ASK! TRAINING AND PRACTICES: Like any sport, joining roller derby is a commitment! Your advancement in the league depends on you! Passing a minimum skills test at a scheduled TRYOUT is required to be placed on a league team, Bruised Meat or Bout Ready. When placed on the Bruised Meat squad, you will work on repetitive drills and skills with seasoned members, so showing up to practice and training hard is very important for you to advance to Bout Ready status. Once you become a Bout Ready league skater you are required to attend a minimum of 8 practices a month. Three practices are offered each week, so this shouldn’t be too hard. We practice at Saxet Hall @ 3952 Leopard. NEW GIRL Practice Time:
