LEAGUE INFO

So, you want to be a Sault Roller Girl, but you aren't sure you have what it takes - Come on out! This is our first season so roller derby is new to most of us. Some of us haven't even skated before, and other just not for years. We will all be training together to get the skills we need to be placed on one of our teams.

It takes quite a commitment to be a Sault Roller Girl. We are a "by the skater, for the skater" - DIY - non-profit league. This means we do everything ourselves - from fundraising, advertising, to the production of events.

A Sault Roller Girl must devote her time to practices, meetings, and events. Each girl is reponsible for purchasing her own equipment, purchasing a $50 insurance membership to Roller Sports Canada (we provide the forms), and paying monthly dues (currently $20).

More information can be found here.

FRESH MEAT INFO

Are you a woman 18+ looking for something new and exciting to get involved in? A fun way to get in shape, and make some new friends? Then we have a sport for you! Roller derby!

No previous experience required!

We'll teach you!

Don't think you can take a fall?

We are also looking for skating and non-skating referees, and volunteers. These positions are available to men and women, must be 18+! Anyone looking to take on a skating position, this page also applies to you!

All gear is available on a first come, first served basis. We only have enough protective gear and skates to suit up 3 girls, so make sure to email us to reserve your spot. If you don't register you may not be able to skate (unless you have your own gear).

So, make sure to come out and get a piece of the action. One of our lovely girls will briefly go through the rules, and take you through some basic drills, and then you will have some time to skate.

If you miss your chance this time, don't sweat it. You can feel free to come out an get the information packages, as well as sit in and watch your local derby girls in action. We generally have a Recruitment Night every 3 weeks, so email us! We can send you our information early, so you are better prepared for next time!

WHAT YOU NEED TO SKATE

Identification - a photocopy/scan of 2 government issued IDs & sign a waiver (we provide)

Pads - elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet. You will also need a mouth guard that can be purchased at any sporting goods store at a minimal price. We have enough extra protective gear to suit up 3 girls, but this will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Skates - Quad skates only! No roller blades are allowed! We currently have 3 pairs of extras skates, but they are available on a first come, first served basis. Your best bet would be to purchase your own pair - even a cheap second hand pair would be fine for now.
