No experience needed — just bring your curiosity, proof of Covid-19 vaccination, equipment (see below) and get ready to roll!Equipment: We require a helmet, skates, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Quad skates in a derby style are recommended. SCRD has a limited number of pads and helmets available for borrowing. Additionally, Wicked Skatewear will be partnering with us for the night! They will have loaner skates available and gear to purchase. Please bring a mouthguard to Derby 101! We recommend purchasing a moldable one and molding it at home before the event to ensure a comfortable fit and protect your teeth while skating.
