If you have EVER considered strapping on some gear and checking out the track this is your chance!! No one is too large, too small, too young, too old, too weird, too loud, or too quiet. Gapland accepts everyone and we think there is a place in derby for all of you! We are PUMPED to have you out!
What to bring:
1) Provincial Health Card
2) Mouthguard (optional) …
3) Exercise clothing (keep in mind you will be wearing knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards)
4) ALL of your excitement/nerves/panic/skills or lack-of/and a great attitude!
5) Water bottle
The Gapland Rollers senior ladies will be helping you out to learn the basic skills of derby and hopefully get you hooked! If you have any equipment (helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, mouthguard) please bring. If you do not, the league has equipment to be borrowed.
