The next session of Roller Derby 101 begins January 18th, 2025.
Full details: ROLLER DERBY 101 WINTER 2025 REGISTRATION FORM

Who?
All genders ages 18 and up welcome! No previous skating experience required!

When?
Saturday’s from 11am to 1pm. Our first practice will be January 18th and the program will run for twelve weeks (With holidays, this means the program will end May 3rd) 

Where?
Old Ottawa Technical High School – Mustang Gym (440 Albert St, Ottawa, ON) (second floor of the South Building)

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 for safety reasons each person needs their own helmet and mouth guard. If you are renting gear and/or skates, please also fill out the rental form HERE

If you are thinking about buying your own gear checkout our local roller derby shop Rideau Rollers online or in person at 787 Somerset St. W. 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 winter session. 

Payment plans and grants are available if cost is a barrier for you, including a grant for Indigenous skaters. Please select the applicable option in the payment question below if you would like to take advantage of one of these supports and reach out to finance (finance@ottawavalleyrollerderby.com) to discuss details. 

** 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
