Roller Derby is a fast-paced, full-contact sport that draws great crowds, and fosters a sense of family and community in its players, volunteers, fans and supporters. Interested in joining Durham Region Roller Derby?
Players
Step one would be to complete our 10 week Derby 101 training camp. Offered several times a year, this training camp is designed for people of all skill levels, even if you haven’t put on roller skates in years … or ever! With determination and hard work, you can be an excellent skater regardless of your prior experience or skill level. Check our social media for the next intake date.
At the end of the Derby 101 training camp your contact level will be assessed prior to joining our House League team, where you will continue to work towards graduating to playing. There will always be a place for you with DRRD no matter your skill level.
All skaters require the following equipment prior to starting the Derby 101 program:
- Quad roller skates
- Helmet
- Knee pads
- Elbow pads
- Wrist guards
- Mouth guard
Some of this equipment can be borrowed until you purchase your own.
If you’re interested in joining DRRD as a skater, email to info@drrd.ca
Officials and NSOs
We’re looking for a few good men & women to keep us in line. Referees and NSOs (non skating officials) are a huge part of Roller Derby. They keep points, track penalties, and eject those players who get carried away during the heat of battle.
Think you are up to the challenge? If you’re interested in joining DRRD as a referee or non-skating official, email drrdbouts@gmail.com
Volunteers
Behind any successful derby league is a hardworking staff of dedicated individuals.
Our home bouts are a major undertaking that wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the great volunteers who generously donate their time and talent.
If you’re interested in volunteering your time or skills to DRRD, email info@drrd.ca
