EAST VIC ROLLER DERBY
JUNIORS
Junior Roller Derby program
The program is open to all school-aged skaters up to 18yrs, of all genders. If you can just stand on your skates or are an accomplished skater, we welcome you!
Our program focuses on fitness, confidence, good sportsmanship, teamwork, skills development, and roller derby tactics. We currently coach 4 levels;
Beginners: Basic skate skills, basic rules, and Roller Derby gameplay.
Level 1: No/Low contact, next-level skating skills and teamwork, on skates gameplay with basic tactics.
Level 2: Modified contact (as per Skate Victoria’s modified contact guidelines), more advanced fitness and WFTDA minimum skate skills, scenario based on track strategies and teamwork.
Level 3: Full Contact as per WFTDA guidelines.
We host various guest coaches & boot camps as well as junior bout events throughout the year as well as aiming to travel to at least one bout event each year, schedule and numbers permitting. Check out the schedule here.
This is a great way for under-18-age skaters to build confidence, and resilience, and enjoy teamwork in a diverse and inclusive environment.
Dates/Times:
Term 4 is running October 5th - December 7th.
Sessions run every Saturday of the school term at The Shed (Greaves Reserve, Dandenong Showgrounds).
The sessions are split by skill level rather than age (we will divide into further groups as required), with some overlap of levels.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your allocated training time to ensure your skater can gear up and be ready to skate on time.

Level 2 Class: 11.00am - 12:15pm
*Please note that parents/guardians of primary school-aged children are required to stay onsite for the duration of the session.
