There are no fees for this event.  You will be required to sign an insurance waiver, and provide MCP and emergency contact information.  Details on season registration will be given to you at the end of the night.

Roller Derby requires the following equipment.  If you do not have access to this, please email info@709derbygirls.com to register your sizes and we will provide gear for you.  You MUST provide your own mouth guard that is properly molded to your teeth.  You can pick up an inexpensive “boil & bite” mouth guard at places like Walmart or Canadian Tire, or you can start with a derby recommended quality mouth guard from Signal Skates.  Without a mouth guard you will not be allowed to skate.

• mouth guard

Are you interested in helping out but skating isn’t your strong suit?  No problem.  We are always looking for off-skates volunteers for games.  Please contact us for more information at info@709derbygirls.com.
