BBDD'S resolutions for 2012!

The Battle Born Derby Demons have wrapped up our fifth season. As we skate into 2012, we'd like to share with you our New Year's Resolutions:

 

1) To Become Full-Blown Members of WFTDA!

The Battle Born Derby Demons are working harder than ever to complete our apprenticeship and become a full-blown Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) league! We want to represent Reno in the worldwide derby community. Thank you for your support as we strive to do just that!

 

2) To Continue to Build Community Support!

The BBDD are rolling out our "Roller Derby Lives in Reno" campaign! Our members are teachers, moms, students, nurses, nail technicians, chefs...we live and work (and play!) in Reno. This is our town and we are proud of it!

This month we will showcase at least one member of the Battle Born Derby Demons every day on Facebook! Get to know Reno's own flat track roller derby league.

We will also be introducing our BBDD Flash Mob! Look for information on Facebook or our Appearances page on how, when and where you may join.

And don't forget: you can also join us throughout the winter for our various fundraisers and appearances (listed on the Appearances page or on Facebook) as we work to raise money to support our league and prepare for our sixth season.

Look for our first bout of Season 6 in June 2012!

 

3) To Invite You to "Get Fit with the Battle Born Derby Demons"!

Join BBDD's Bootcamp at the Sparks Marina every Saturday at 11am and train like a derby girl! Just a $5 donation (half of which goes to the BBDD) gets you 30 minutes of off-skates training and 30 minutes of skates-optional training. All levels of fitness are welcome to attend.

Get to know your favorite derby girls, get fit and support local roller derby!

Want more derby? We are always recruiting for Refs, Non-Skating Officials, Skaters and Volunteers. See the "Join Us" page or shoot us an email to learn more!

 

2012 will be an exciting year for us. Thank you for your continued support.

CALLING ALL SKATERS!

SO YOU WANNA BE A DERBY DEMON?

Sign up for a New Recruit Practice to find out if Flat Track Roller Derby is right for you!

In order to get you ready to skate at general practices, our New Recruits must go through a 6-8 week training course. This training course takes you through the basics of skating, roller derby and strategies. Practices are at Roller Kingdom (515 E. 7th Street, Reno) on Tuesdays 7:30pm-9:30pm and Thursdays 9pm-11pm.

Skaters must be females aged 21 and over (although younger skaters may be accepted upon Coach/Captain approval). Previous skating experience is preferred, but not necessary. All shapes, sizes and skill levels are welcome!!!

Please bring any equipment you may already have, including quad speed skates, helmets, wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads. We may have some gear available to borrow, but we only have limited sizes and quantities on hand. You must bring your own mouth guard (available at any Sporting Goods Store or Department) and water.

PLEASE NOTE: THE CURRENT PHASE OF NEW GIRL TRAINING IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.

Please contact our RECRUITMENT DEMON for more info...and so we know to expect you!
