New Skater Program
New to roller skating or derby-curious? Our New Skater Program helps kids 7–17 build real skills step by step—standing, safe falling, striding, stopping, and then easing into roller derby basics.Coaches focus on confidence, body awareness, and teamwork, keeping things challenging but supportive. Skaters must be able to stand up on roller skates, stride forward, and safely stop without assistance to participate. If your skater does not have these basic skills, please check out the Learn to Skate class 30 minutes prior to every Sunday Skate the Armory session. Skaters generally pick up these skills in just one class. Gear Needed: Skaters must arrive with their own moldable mouth guard, molded and ready for play. All other gear can be borrowed. Gear List: Quad style roller skates (no roller blades/in-lines), multiple impact helmet, elbow pads, wrist guards, and knee pads.
