ABOUT OUR YOUTH PROGRAM

If your child is between the ages of 6-17, they are eligible to skate with us! We provide a safe environment for your young skater to thrive and become the best roller derby player they can be. Our coaches provide positive and constructive feedback to help your skater grow to become a great athlete and teammate.

PRACTICES

Our current youth schedule is the following:

Thursdays, 5-6pm
Saturdays, 9-11am

COST

You have two options when joining our program: monthly membership or per practice drop-in membership.

Monthly Membership
In order to make roller derby more accessible for everyone, we offer memberships on a sliding scale of $50-80 per month. You can decide the amount you feel comfortable to pay. 

Drop-In Fee
If you only plan on practicing every once in a while, or when you're in town, we offer a one-time drop in fee of $10 per practice. 

DERBY GEAR

The following gear is required at all roller derby practices.

• Quad Roller Skates 

• Helmet, Knee Pads, Elbow Pads, Wrist Guards

• Mouthguard 

Our shop of choice is Bo's Boots on Wheels. Be sure to tell them you are skating with Slam Diego. If you already have gear and aren't sure if you can use it for derby, feel free to bring it to any practice. Any of the coaches can look it over and let you know our recommendations. 

NEW SKATER ORIENTATION

Our new skater orientations, hosted every other month, are the best way to learn about who we are, what we offer and what's involved in becoming a roller derby player. Our next Youth New Skater Orientation will be in January 2026. To receive more information, sign up HERE.
