We have opportunities for skaters, ages 7 - 17, of all levels from beginner through advanced. New skaters can get started with junior roller derby by joining our Jokers program where we will teach you to skate and the basics of the game. Once a skater has learned the foundations of skating and the game, they will have the opportunity to join our Jacks, where they can continue to progress their skating skills and begin full-contact gameplay while learning roller derby strategy and teamwork. Once skaters have reached a certain level of strategy and aptitude, they are invited to practice with the Aces, our competitive sanctioned team.Â
