Have you always wanted to skate derby? We would love to have you! But, for the safety of our new trainees (aka Fresh Meat), we need to do a bit of population control. We’ve realized that we can do better training and have more fun if we bring in new skaters as a group, and help them build the skills they need together. For that reason, we will be accepting new skaters at Fresh Meat practice until the end of July, and then closing recruitment for a couple months.
What does this mean? If you’re desperate to be a Dame, show up at Fresh Meat practice at the Charlottesville Armory at 7pm on either Wednesday July 21st or 28th. If you can’t make it then, you’ll have another shot to come out and join us in a few months. Just keep watching this site for updates. And… if you’re just dying to get on skates, remember that you can skate at Carver Rec center or at the rink in Staunton in the meantime. Questions? Get in touch! contact@charlottesvillederbydames.com

Hi Anna! Don’t worry… many of us hadn’t skated in years, either! We’ve got gear (including skates) that we can lend you for a while. And we’ll help you remember how to skate. Most of us hugged the wall our first practice. So, come on by! If you have more questions, feel free to contact us at contact@charlottesvillederbydames.com
