Your first practice is coming up soon! That’s awesome and we can’t wait to meet and
greet and teach everyone about the world of roller derby! Here are some tips and tricks on preparation
for your first practice.
Procure your gear!
You’ll need gear!
While we do have loaner items, they are first come, first serve. If you need to borrow the leagues gear for
the first couple of practices, please arrive around fifteen minutes early to be
able to find the gear you need and be geared up in time for practice. Remember, we do not have loaner mouth
guards! B&D Skating Rink, Derby 4
All and sports stores sell them.
Pick out your first day of school outfit!
Here is a guide to Dressing Derby! If you have questions, please ask.
When and Where?
Check the calendar!
It’s on this blog and it was also given to you in print form. All practices are held at B&D Skate
Center in Independence. Remember to
schedule drive time to make it to practice on time! Be ready to go at the start of practice.
Make a Practice Day Plan
To prepare for practice drink plenty of water. A Staying Hydrated blog post has been made. Make sure to bring a bottle of
water during practice. You might want to
bring a few snacks for after practice.
If this is your first time meeting with us, you will need to sign a
waiver and complete contact information online.
There will be plenty of copies of the waiver available. Don’t forget the rink fee for September. That can be paid at the first practice.
Relax and have fun!
Remember, this is the first practice for a lot of
people. Relax and have fun. It’s okay to fall. Falling is learning.
Have questions? Ask
them! There will be plenty of trainers
available for you to ask questions to.
