What
to Wear
You will want to wear something that is
comfortable and
moves with your
body. Jeans and pants do not work, because your
pads need to
go over
them. Also Shorts and Skirts are fine, but we
do wear
tights and
fishnets for more than aesthetic reasons. Your
skin will
appreciate the
protection from sliding on the floor. Leggings
are also are a
great
choice and my personal favorite because they are
a bit
thicker and
protect a little better against rink rash!
For the clinics we would prefer for you to have
your own
safety
equipment if you can provide it. We will have
some equipment
you can
borrow, but it will be first come first serve
and we will
not have
enough for everyone. So please come prepared,
and bring as
much of your
own gear as possible.
Here are some equipment basics... you MUST have
all of these
things in
order to skate! (again if you are missing a
couple we will
have a few
amounts to lend out) Inexpensive sets of starter
knee,
elbow, and wrist
guards can be found at Target and Walmart for
around $18.
Mandatory Equipment:
• pair of quad roller skates (the low ankle ones)
• knee pads (the better, the better- speaking as a
previously
injured
• player due to faulty knee pads)
• elbow pads
• wrist guards
• mouth guard (you must bring this and have it
formed to your
mouth- it
does no good without it being boiled
• helmet (this should fit you snug without
hurting)
• current/valid insurance card
• current i.d.

Q&A
What if full contact is not for me, do I
have a place
at Roc City
Roller Derby?
If hurting yourself scares you, or maybe the
full contact is
a bit too
much, or maybe you like wearing black and white
stripes....
We are
always in search of new referees and volunteers
as well, so
come out and
give it a try! We can find a spot for you!!
What If I can't make it to the First Fresh Meat
Clinic?
Not to worry, We will be having one, once a
month until
February
Try-Outs, so stay tuned for the next Date!!
Our season runs from May
to November
with
recruitment during specific times of the year.
Our fresh
meat
co-ordinator, Roxy
D. Sniper, can fill you in on the rest of
the details if
you
contact her. Thanks!
