Joining OVRD as a New Skater

OVRD is a league committed to developing the best roller derby players in Ottawa. New skaters are given a chance to develop their skills at our beginners training program, Roller Derby 101. This training occurs before you are integrated into league practice. We offer a safe and inclusive space for you to develop your skating and derby skills.

Roller Derby 101 is designed to teach the basics of roller derby to new and novice skaters. We train both players and referees. There is no obligation to join the league after you’ve completed the program. 

Our next session of Roller Derby 101 will start September 2026. More Info Here!

We’re looking for athletically minded people who are enthusiastic to skate hard and join a supportive community that is committed to inclusion.

If you have any questions, please email us at rollerderby101@ottawavalleyrollerderby.com.
