It's time to earn your wings.
Denver Roller Derby's unique recruitment program, Flight School, allows skaters of all levels a chance to learn in a safe, supportive environment. Flight School focuses on basic skating technique, roller derby specific skills, and rules knowledge.
Cadets are coached by experienced trainers, mentored by skaters in the league, and attend scrimmages where they're trained by our amazing team of officials in practical, hands-on rules seminars. Even if you've never skated before, we invite you to come join us. We'll teach you everything you need to know to get rolling!
Ready to get started? The first thing you need to do is come to one of our upcoming recruitment events!
• Check for upcoming recruitment sessions in our event listing on Facebook.
You'll be able to observe a DRD practice or scrimmage session while learning more about the league from our recruitment team.
Recruitment is free!
Please note: There is no skating during recruitment events! If you're ready to join DRD, your first time on skates with us will be the following week.
A new 8-week session of Flight School usually begins the week after a Recruitment Night (our trainers will give you more details).
General Recruitment Information:
You must be 18 years or older to join Flight School. Your ID will be checked at sign-in, so make sure to have your license with you.
You must be at least 18 years old to participate. If you’re under 18 please consider joining our Junior Derby program.
Recruitment is open to all genders, including those who are interested in joining our Men's affiliate league, Ground Control.
Recruitment is also open to all those interested in Roller Derby, so if you’re interested in learning how to officiate roller derby bouts, or just volunteer in general, come to a Recruitment Night and chat with us!
You may bring interested friends to these events, but please leave your family and supporters behind. We’ve found that this causes unnecessary distractions and they will be asked to leave.
If you have any questions, please email us. We can’t wait to meet you!
