Now in our second season our skater development program has changed.  New Skater orientation is the first Monday of each month.  Please contact newbies@stchuxderbychix.com to sign up and for further information on our league.  Our goal is to help you become the best player that you can be.  There are no timelines to hold you back, you will progress thru our training program at your own pace.

Training Phases

Our program begins with the “fresh meat” phase.  At this stage your training takes place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. There are very basic skating and falling skills that you will learn before moving on to the “Rookie” phase.

In the “Rookie” phase you have become a league member and you will be able to attend the extended practice times.  You will further develop your skills and continue to learn the sport of Roller Derby.  When ready you will be assessed to earn your “Cherries”.

Once “Cherried” you are contact eligible and able to participate in the full practices including scrimmages.

The final phase of your skater development is meeting the WFTDA minimum skills requirements.  After completing your MST’s you are eligible to make the roster for SCDC bouts.

Joining Requirements

If you are interested in joining SCDC the minimum requirements to begin include:

1.      You must be at least 18 years of age.
2.      You must have medical insurance coverage.

A beginner skater is welcome to use “rink” skates and our “fresh meat” pads and helmets until they are able to purchase their own equipment.  However, you MUST purchase your own mouthguard.  (The $3 ones from Wal-mart or Johnny Mack’s work fine).
