For those who skate with us more than once a week, a monthly membership is the most economical option. For $90/monthly, an Unlimited Monthly Membership includes all Derby Practices as well as any regularly scheduled Public Skate or Class offered at Ringer’s Roller Rink.
What gear is required to play?
Youth roller derby players will need quad roller skates, knee and elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet and a mouthguard. Roller derby is a full contact sport and falling is an important part of any skater’s training from day one.
Quad Skates: Recommended derby brands include Sure Grip, Riedell and Chaya. If you are purchasing skates, please get a “speed boot” for roller derby. Please avoid ordering online. It is always best to get fitted in-person when possible.
Protective Gear: Recommended derby brands include 187 Killer Pads, Triple 8 and S-One. A very snug fit is exetremely important for a full contact sport. Please get fitted in-person for gear if possible. Avoid buying online.
