THE DETAILS
Since we are governed by the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), every skater must demonstrate minimum skill requirements such as: proper derby stance, how to fall correctly, basic stops, and endurance level prior to becoming a full contact skater with CCD.
On Freshie Nights, we'll do an informal skills assessment on every Chile Verde to determine the various levels of skating ability at that time. Fresh Meat is 12 weeks of training on Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6:15-8:15pm, and practice is mandatory. Dues are $20/month, and you should have your own skates, gear, mouthguard, and water.
Your dedicated coaches expect you to show up to every practice hydrated and ready to learn! We'll expect you to do some work off skates on your own and will happily answer your questions. We'll also show you how to maintain your skates and will advise you on ordering gear and skates, if you ask. You will be expected to volunteer at every home game as a Non-Skating Official, which will help you learn the rules and your future teammates.
Skills assessments will be held twice during our Chile Verde training, once midway and once at the end of our 12 week program. If you pass your WFTDA Minimum Skills and have made the attendance requirements, you will be drafted onto a team and permitted to practice with the league. Once you "graduate" to rookie status, you will be expected to continue attending practice regularly and volunteering, plus you'll have the chance to join one of our committees! There's a committee for every aspect of roller derby.
If you decide you aren't interested in skating full contact, you can skate with our non-contact group, or even train to be a referee or non-skating official (The Dark Side of the Bout). For additional information, email us.
