Overview
Our Juniors program is a fun, inclusive skating pathway designed for young people to learn how to skate, build confidence, and progress toward playing roller derby if they choose. The focus is on developing strong skating fundamentals first—balance, control, coordination, and fitness—through games, drills, and group activities in a supportive environment. Skaters can continue through the pathway into derby skills and gameplay, but the main goal is to learn to skate, have fun, and grow confidence on skates.
