Joining the ICTRG:
2011 Introduced a brand new 90 day Newbie Training Class! Newbies are required to start training on the FIRST DAY. Newbie classes for 2012 will start on:
TUES Jan 3rd
TUES April 3rd
TUES July 3rd
TUES Oct 2nd
Things you need to bring to your first practice:
- Waterbottle
- Formed mouthguard (97 cents at Walmart)
- A white T-shirt or tank top for you to practice in (we will write your name on the back with permanent marker)
- Photocopy of your valid photo ID
- Photocopy of front and back of Insurance card (if you currently have insurance. It is not required)
Your investment:
You get to try out roller derby for FREE for the first 30 days! Loaner skates and required safety gear is available for your first 90 days. Our very own Ref and Newbie Trainer, Dude, owns Wrecked Skates shop, and can assist you with fitting and purchasing your gear. Expect to pay:
- Around $150 - $200 for ALL of your gear (helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, mouth guard, quad speed skates), but remember you have 90 days to get it!
- At 30 days you will need to pay WFTDA/skater insurance (around $60) and a yearly league due of $50 (this pays for two league jerseys when you graduate the program). Third party insurance is a very wise investment, and purchasing WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) insurance is a requirement before you bout, or actually play a game.
- At 60 days you will start paying a monthly due of $35 (which covers your 3 available practices a week. Get your money's worth by skating as many days as possible!)
