The Boston Derby Dames Need YOU!

Boston's women's flat-track roller derby league is now recruiting skaters for their third season.

Season Two saw many veteran rollergirls hang up their skates, and we need at least 20 new skaters to fill our home team rosters for Season Three. Our coaching staff has trained four classes of freshmeat in Boston and Providence, and we can definitely say that derby success comes through hard work, not necessarily existing athletic skills or extensive roller skating experience. So don't be shy! Potential recruits must be comfortable on roller skates, female, at least 21 years old, and have health insurance.

Freshmeat Open Skate/Clinics
If you're thinking of trying out, we strongly encourage you to come to an open skate/clinic to say hello and start practicing basic skills. A little nervous? Just remember, there are only two things you need to know to get started: skate fast, turn left. We'll help with the rest. Find Dames and refs in their black Boston Derby Dames shirts to say hi or ask questions.

* Skateland, Bradford: Thursday, September 25, 8-10 pm
* Skateland, Bradford: Thursday, October 9, 8-10 pm
* Rollerworld, Saugus: Saturday, October 25, 1-3 pm

These take place during regular open skate hours. Skate rentals are available and regular admission fees apply. You do not have to register for tryouts to come to a skate clinic; it's just a chance for you to see if BDD is for you and get some practice time. Need help finding a ride to a skate clinic? Give us a shout at freshmeat@bostonderbydames.com and we'll do our best to help put together a carpool.
