Rollergirl Recruitment FAQ
What should I bring to practices?
Bring your protection gear, bottle of water, and quad skates. If you do not own quad roller skates you can rent them at our indoor practices.
Where are practices held?
We currenty practice at San Jose Skate in San Jose. Practices are closed to the public, so the schedule isn't published here, but contact us for more details.
Where can I purchase quad roller skates and protective gear?
Many rollergirls buy their gear online and at their local skateboard shops.You can buy gear from our sponsors Cruz Skateshop in San Francisco or Ohana Board Shop in San Jose, at the pro shop at our home rink, San Jose Skate, or online at ViaDerby.com. Check with our head of recruiting about special discounts for SVRG recruits.
I've skated a few times but I'm not really good at skating, can I still come to practices?
Most of our girls begin roller derby with little skating ability. We have excellent coaches who will help you develop your skating ability and derby skills.
I'm out of shape, should I pretrain before I come to practice?
Besides doing basic stretching, push ups, and sit ups the best way to get trained to become a rollergirl is to start attending practices.
OK! Where do I sign up?
We require all interested skaters to attend and observe one whole practice, then attend and skate another practice before you join. After attending two practices, you can come to a recruitment meeting. Just drop us a line when you're ready to come check out your first practice.
