ROLLER DERBY BOOT CAMP

Make new friends and knock them down!

You’ve been to a roller derby bout and thought, β€œI can do that.” You’re looking for a fun, new sport that puts you hip to hip with the coolest girls in town. You’ve always wanted to participate in a full contact sport and unleash your pent up aggression. Do you love to skate as much as we do? Sounds like you would be interested in waging war on wheels with the Classic City Rollergirls!

CCRG is holding a twp-day bootcamp (Sunday, May 31st 8:30am–12:00pm and Monday, June 1st 5:30pm-9:00pm) at Fun Galaxy skating rink at 3030 Cherokee Road, Athens, Georgia.

With a $10 refundable deposit, you can borrow loaner gear that includes everything you’ll need (with the exception of mouthguards) from us. Speed skates are available for rental at a cost of $3 per session. Mouthguards may be purchased at bootcamp for $2.

What a rollergirl needs:

mouth guard
knee pads
elbow pads
wrist guards
helmet
skates
water bottle
athletic clothing

For more information or if you have any questions, please email our recruitment head of skate (recruitment@classiccityrollergirls.com) or message us on Facebook and we’ll be sure to get them answered. We also have information available on our Web forum where you can talk to other members of the league and introduce yourself before coming to bootcamp!

In the meantime, brush up on your skating skills and meet the rollergirls at open skates. Public skating times are held throughout the week at CCRG’s home rink, Fun Galaxy
