Fall 2022 Bootcamp Registration is Open!

Green Mountain Roller Derby is actively recruiting skaters, referees, and non-skating officials. No experience is necessary!

Learn the basics of skating and roller derby at our twice-weekly bootcamp this fall. Sessions run 8:30-10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from October 4 to November 22. Join us at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex to give roller derby a try!

This six-week program costs $65, with reduced rates available for those who express need.

We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Vermont and will keep you updated if plans must be adjusted. COVID Vaccinations and boosters required.

GMRD Rookie practices focus on teaching new and intermediate level skaters the basics of roller skating, derby skills, and endurance. Practices are led by tenured GMRD skaters. Rookies have their skills assessed periodically to determine if they’re ready to advance into learning additional skills. Once passing basic skills assessments, rookies will become a full member of GMRD. This is when you begin attending league practices and meetings, you can be assigned a league job and participate in GMRD group activities and community events. After passing advanced assessments, you are eligible to skate in league scrimmages and games.

If you’ve been wanting to try roller derby or just wondering what we are all about, there’s no better time to start than right now! Check out our calendar for other practice dates and become part of something unique.
