What to Expect on Recruitment Night



So! You've decided to give derby a chance! The recruitment nights are coming up fast; July 30th and August 22nd. What do you need and what do you need to know before you walk into the rink?
First and foremost you need to know that this is NOT a tryout. This is boot camp designed to teach people of all skill levels.  We will teach you everything you need to know from skating forward and falling safely to assisting and hitting each other on the track!

The schedule for the recruitment night will go like this:

8:00 pm  -- Meet and Greet!  Come meet some of our current skaters and leadership within the league.  Ask questions, get to know one another.  There will be a small game that you can participate in (it's not mandatory) and there might be prizes at the end!  You will sign the waiver at this time.  All other "paperwork" will be done electronically this year!

8:30 pm -- Informational Meeting!  Learn about the league!  We will discuss the structure of the league, introduce you to Quad Squad, let you know about the types of teams, dues structure and training information.

9:00 pm -- Scrimmage time!  You will get to watch a thirty minute scrimmage!  There will be women's only and open division play.  There will be skaters around to answer questions.  The announcer will keep you informed and our refs will keep everything legal!

9:30 pm -- Open Skate!  If you have your own skates and gear, please bring it for open skate.  Rental skates will be available free of charge.  You do not have to skate, you can hang out and chat and get your questions answered.  There will be plenty of people around to help you out! 

I look forward to seeing everyone!  We are excited to have you!
