BSL & Derby Classes

The Jet City Rollergirls are proud to present our comprehensive training program for aspiring rollergirls! This exciting program will train you from the ground up to become the best derby player you can be!

How it works

  1. Basic skating lessons (BSL) – Learn basic derby skating skills, stance, crossovers, and much more. We welcome all skill levels, men, women and children 12 or older. Once you have all your basic skills down you are eligible for our Jet Cadets Program!
  2. Jet Cadets (women 18 and over) – The Jet Cadets are our Fresh Meat Team. On cadets you’ll learn the advanced skills to get you bout ready – whips, pushes, lateral movement, hitting, jamming. pack work, etc. After passing an intermediate skills and scrimmage assessment and achieving standard benchmarks, you will be invited to practice with the JCRG home teams on Thursday nights. Home teams draft from our fresh meat teams approximately 4 times a year.
  3. JCRG teams cannot accept men or children, but men 18 and older are encouraged to consider becoming skating or non-skating officials in our Derby Enforcement Agency or joining the local men’s roller derby league, the Puget Sound Outcasts.

we encourage you to Email us for information on joining.
