Renegade Roller Derby of Central Oregon
Tryouts
Do you want to be a bouting member of the Renegade Roller Derby league?
How it all goes down…
Regular Skills Testing
The Renegade Roller Derby will be holding regular league skills testing on the first Monday of each month held at the beginning or our normal practices (Susceptible to change, see practices section of site for more info). The Skills Tests are for people who are interested in being bouting members. Only those wanting to be bouting members will be required to take an on skates assessment, those who want to practice and not bout are more than welcome too.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
You must be at least 18 years old to be a member of the Renegades and willing to learn and have fun. Also you must be able to affirm that you are in good physical condition and do not suffer from any health condition or disability that would prevent or limit your participation in a full contact sport or increase susceptibility to injury.
WHAT HAPPENS AT TRYOUTS?
Try outs are on a flat surface.
Please come prepared. You may want to show up a few minutes early in some comfortable work out apparel. Also it’s a good idea to bring a water bottle. You will need to bring a $7.00 application fee and your ID to prove that you are at least 18. You will also need to fill out paperwork. We will have some loaner gear available, (quad skates, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and helmets) but if you have any of that gear bring it with you. There is no need for you to go out and buy gear prior to tryouts, but if you’d like to, you could go to Aspect Skate Shop (locally owned by a Renegade member) http://www.aspectshop.com/ or to Roller Doll Skates.
NOW WHAT?
You now need to go out and get some gear. (we will let you know what is the appropriate gear to get, but expect to spend at least $300) You will be required to pay an annual administration fee of $50, and monthly dues of $40. (The membership fee is year round) and an Insurance fee.
Congratulations, you are now a voting member of the league.
