Equipment
As a full-contact sport, roller derby requires proper protective gear. To get started, you’ll need:
- Quad roller skates
- A multi-impact helmet
- Knee, elbow, and wrist pads
- A mouthguard
What equipment do we lend out?
We lend skates and protective pads for the duration of the course.
What equipment don’t we lend out?
For safety and hygiene reasons, we don’t lend helmets or mouthguards.
Why do we lend out equipment?
Roller derby can be expensive, so we lend out equipment to help make the sport accessible to everyone!
Where does our loaner equipment come from?
It’s either donated by team members or purchased with money raised at our games. Solidarity rocks!
What if we don’t have loaner gear in my size?
We’ll add you to a waiting list and let you know as soon as something in your size becomes available.
How can I secure a spot in the beginner course?
Bringing your own gear guarantees you a spot in the course!
Looking to buy your own gear? Here are a few tips:
Many online shops offer beginner bundles, letting you buy all your gear together at a lower price. Here are a few important things to know about each piece of equipment.
