GENERAL FAQ

  • To join SoIN Roller Derby, simply reach out to us through our website or social media channels! We welcome skaters of all skill levels. You can start by attending one of our Training Camp sessions. Our Training Camps are designed to help you build your skills and get to know the team. Once you graduate from Training Camp and feel ready, you can join the league and start competing! We’ll have at least one (1) Training Camp per year.

  • No problem! We love beginners. SoIN Roller Derby offers a supportive environment for people who are new to skating. Our Training Camp is specifically designed for beginners and will teach you the basics of roller skating, as well as the rules and strategies of roller derby. Everyone starts somewhere, and we’re here to help you grow at your own pace!

  • To get started in roller derby, you’ll need full gear for safety and protection. This includes:

    • Helmet

    • Knee Pads

    • Elbow Pads

    • Wrist Guards

    • Mouth Guard

    • Quad Speed Skates

    Soin Roller Derby offers league discounts through major retailers, so be sure to ask us about those when you're ready to gear up!

    In addition to your gear, bring your enthusiasm for derby and a willingness to learn. Remember, roller derby is all about perseverance — you might fall, but we promise you'll get back up and become stronger with every practice. We’re here to support you every step of the way!

  • If you don't pass Training Camp, don’t worry — it's not the end of the road! We believe in growth, and we’ll work with you to help you improve your skills. You'll have the opportunity to practice and retake Training Camp at your own pace. Roller derby is about perseverance and team support, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

  • That’s totally fine! Not everyone wants to compete, and we offer opportunities for non-competitive involvement. You can join our recreational skater group, help with event organizing, volunteer as a referee, or even get involved in our community outreach programs. There are plenty of ways to contribute to the league and enjoy the sport without competing!

  • Welcome! If you're transferring from another league, we’ll make sure you feel right at home. We typically ask for a transfer letter or contact from your previous team so we can better understand your skill level and experience. After that, we’ll introduce you to our team culture and help you get integrated into our practices and events.
