Skate on a Pioneer Valley Team

So you wanna join a roller derby team?

Think you have the proverbial "what it takes"? Think you'll be able to skate fast and take big hits from the men and women of PVRD? Think you can dish 'em out?

Only one way to find out. Come on down.

We don't hold try-outs, just show up to Fresh Meat Night. There's no experience necessary - we don't expect you to know how to skate, or understand the game or be in great shape. We'll teach you to skate, then teach you to play.

What we CAN'T teach you is your own commitment to training, and to the league. It does take a great deal of personal discipline to succeed at roller derby - it's a physically demanding sport. Playing roller derby requires the desire on your part to TRY, to FAIL and to ultimately SHINE at brand new skills.

You WILL fall down.
You WILL get hurt.
You WILL get back up.
You WILL leave practice and will feel the most intense burning in muscles you didn't even know you had.

And you will be required to do it at least twice a week.

 

Also:
You WILL join a new community and make dozens of friends instantly.
You WILL come up with a rad derby name for yourself.
You WILL boast about that fact that you play derby to awed civilians.
You WILL have an unbelievably fun time.

Here's what you need to start:

• Passion for roller derby
• Commitment to the league and to your teammates
• Determination to succeed

Here's how it works:

• You come to mandatory practices
• We teach you how to skate
• We teach you the rules
• You devote your soul to PVRD (no big deal)
• We make you a star!

If this sounds like your cup of FRESH MEAT - then drink it up, baby!
