South Jersey Roller Derby - New Skater Registration

IMPORTANT THINGS I NEED TO KNOW

 

Equipment

 

You will need  wrist, elbow & knee pads, a helmet and mouth guard for practice, however, you may use the rink’s loaner skates as long as you need.

Warning: Do not buy the brand "roller derby" from Dick Sporting Goods, they are cheap plastic skates. Recommended skates are Riedell R3s. which you can order from various online sources.

​

Please note sizes are men's, so when estimating your size, go down a full size. There are also no half sizes. Example: you normally wear a 8.5 in women's -- remove the half, then go down one size -- so you will order a size 7.

​

Training Wheels Program

 

The Program is self-paced, so the more practices you attend the faster you will move through the program.

 

 Don't be afraid to ask questions. Everyone started at the beginning, and are happy to help the rookies move up through the ranks.

​
