The sport and our league are mostly run by women* but we welcome people from different genders as well!
During trainings we wear a helmet, mouth guard, wristguards, elbowpads, kneepads and quad roller skates. During your first few trainings you’re able to borrow everything, but we do encourage you to get your own gear soon.
No, not at all! If you join us after an Open Training we’ll first teach you all the basics of rollerskating. Strides, stops, falls, we’ll teach you everything you need to know in the first couple of weeks. And no physical contact until you’re ready!
