SCRD 2018 Pre-Season Tryouts

Steel City Roller Derby is holding tryouts for individuals with some skating experience to join our Fresh Meat Class. Tryouts will be held on Monday, January 29th, 7:30pm-9:00pm at the Pittsburgh Indoor Sports Arena. Participants will be tested on the Women's Flat Track Derby Association's Minimum Skills (crossovers, falls, stops, etc). You can review the skills listed here (sections 1-3): http://wftda.com/resources/wftda-minimum-skill-requirements.pdf. You do not need roller derby experience to try out.

Gear:

In order to participate in our tryout, you MUST wear all required safety gear, including helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wristguards, and mouthguard. We will have some extra gear available for borrowing if you dont have your own, but please bring your own mouthguard at least.

What to Expect:

There will be a skating skills portion as well as an informal interview portion, where we will ask you some questions about yourself and your interest in roller derby.

We're looking for committed, hard-working, team-oriented individuals. If you are hesitant about your skating skills, we still highly encourage you to tryout.
