Keeping Fit in 2018!

dc0a3c27c2e6241f39a7595d65148d09Summer is around the corner so why not start a completely new activity by learning to skate! Roller Derby is our sport but before any of that, you have to learn to skate.

We teach you everything you need to know from the very start with our Beginner’s Skating course.  You don’t need any skating experience.  Some of our current teammates never wore a pair of skates before their first night.  You have to start somewhere so why not give it a go!

If you’re a bit nervous but curious about what we do, pop along to WIT Arena any Tuesday night from 8pm – 10pm if you want to have a look and maybe try on some skates before committing to anything.

We train men and women (18+) and our current members range in age from 20 to 55yrs so it’s a great place to have fun, make friends, keep fit and have a lot of laughs!

If you’ve any questions, private message our FACEBOOK PAGE or you can email us at SouthlandRollerDerby@gmail.com
