Humboldt Roller Derby Training Camp

Redwood Acres Fairgrounds

ils Interested in camp? Please read the full description here! Do you want to join in the fun of playing roller derby? Humboldt Roller Derby is proud to continue our comprehensive training program - 17 amazing weeks of skating! Participants will develop their athletic ability, leadership and communication skills while learning the sport of roller derby – all to prepare skaters for joining an HRD team. Instructors will focus on activities that foster trust and communication between teammates while teaching proper skating form and techniques, team awareness, track positions, and basic derby strategy! The goal is to gain the knowledge and skills required to become a part of Humboldt Roller Derby while having fun in a safe environment! Participants will play by Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) rules, which allows for contact while skating and blocking. Every registered participant will participate in practices, but will be required to pass a skill assessment before participating in any full‐contact drills, scrimmages or bouts. Schedule: Camp starts on Tuesday, January 8th and runs for 17 weeks. Practices will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 6:00pm ‐ 7:00pm.

Space is limited, so sign up early. Email the Training Camp Administrator at recruitment@humboldtrollerderby.com to sign up!
