Fresh Meat

Think you have what it takes to be a Roller Girl?

Then come along to the Fresh Meat training sessions! Before you can skate with WIRD you will need to undertake a FreshMeat Program. The program lasts for 4 weeks and will give you a good indication of if you like the sport. The Sport of Roller derby is full contact contact sport for women, so only 18+ need apply, though if you aren’t yet 18 we’d love to have you involved as a volunteer (link). There is a new program starting at the end of each month the upcoming dates are:

  • 20th & 27th February 2011 (venue: Sports Hub, University of Wollongong)
  • 27th March 2011 (venue: Sports Hub, University of Wollongong)
  • Further dates to come in April 2011

Can’t wait til then to get involved? Then email the FreshMeat coordinator to see if you can get in earlier!

To participate in the FreshMeat program you will need the following:

  • A pair of Quad Skates
  • A Helmet
  • A Mouth Guard
  • And pads/Guards for your wrists, elbows & knees.

You will also be required to sign a waiver and pay $10 per session you attend. After the 4 sessions you can then decide whether you’d like to join the league to be a derby girl, or whether you like to be a social skater.
