BECOME A SKATER

Interested in joining Tallahassee Roller Derby? Get started with Boot Camp, where we'll teach you to be a better skater. This sport takes determination and hard work, along with skating skills, strategies, and teamwork. If you are a woman or non-binary individual age 18+ who is willing to fall down and get back up, you can skate with us. Skilled skaters are always welcome, and it helps to have experience playing other team sports, but no prior roller derby experience is necessary.

 

Boot Camp is the first of our two-phase training program  designed to teach you the fundamentals of skating and get you into good skating form before being moved into Rookies, where we work on more advanced skills (like hitting and being hit).

​

Come prepared to sweat! Don't be intimidated if you can't skate or haven't skated in years. We'll do warmups, stretching, and then get into more drills and skills. Feel free to ask questions and get to know the people you're skating with.

​

• Where: Maclay School's Cartee Gymnasium, 3737 N. Meridian Road, Tallahassee, FL

• Cost: $110 for the six-session Boot Camp.

  • If you decide to join the league, you can level up to Rookie status. Dues are $50/month and practice is two nights per week.

• Equipment: We can provide skates, helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and/or wrist guards if you need to borrow them during Boot Camp. Make sure you bring a mouth guard and a water bottle, however; we can't loan you those.

​

You can register here for the next Boot Camp, which begins on Sunday, January 25, 2026.
