Roller Derby 101 – Fall 2023 Session
Ottawa Valley Roller Derby will be holding another terrific session of Roller Derby 101 starting in October 2023. If you would like learn how to play roller derby or just perfect your roller skating skills skate now is the time.
Registration form here!
Who?
All genders ages 18 and up welcome!
When?
Saturday mornings (11am – 1pm) beginning October 14th. The program runs once a week for twelve weeks.
Where?
Old Ottawa Technical High School – Mustang Gym (440 Albert St, Ottawa, ON)
Gear:
All skaters must wear a helmet (skateboard or hockey, NOT bicycle), knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, roller skates, and a mouth guard. Skaters must also have knee pad covers (can be specifically made or you can use knit hockey socks pulled over the knee pad).
Gear rentals are available for skates, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards but each person needs their own helmet and mouth guard.
If you are thinking about buying your own gear checkout our local roller derby shop Rideau Rollers or Montreal’s Lowlife MTL. You can also take a look at their stock to see examples of gear that is appropriate for roller derby and roller skating. Gear can also be bought second-hand through a variety of gear-selling groups on facebook.
Cost:
The cost of the session is $170 (not including $50 insurance fee) with financial aid available if required. As this fee goes directly towards our venue rental costs, it is unfortunately NOT refundable. It can; however, be rolled over to future 101 sessions if you are unable to attend the fall session.
** PLEASE NOTE: In addition to this registration form, you will also need to register for WFTDi skating insurance under “Annual Membership” ($50) though this link: https://www.wftdicanada.ca/auth/signup
