YOUR ROLLER DERBY JOURNEY BEGINS HERE!
Our community is large and always growing. We need officials on and off skates, volunteers for our events, and of course: skaters! There is a place for all kinds of people in roller derby. Let us help you get started on your own roller derby journey!
LVRD MEET & GREET
NOVEMBER 7, 2026 • 8–10pm
BUSHKILL PARK • 2100 BUSHKILL PARK DR • EASTON, PA
Come meet the team and see if roller derby feels like a good fit for you! No commitments and no pressure—just come skate with us, chat with the team, ask all your probing questions, and give it a try.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
-
Skaters who want to learn and play roller derby
-
Referees who want to be on the track and help keep the game moving
-
Non-Skating Officials (NSOs) who love the sport and want to be part of the team without getting into the contact
-
Lovely humans who want to cheer us on, volunteer, take photos, collaborate with us, and more! We love working with the community.
Come meet some awesome people, throw on a pair of skates for open skate (no contact), and see what all the excitement is about. You might just find your new favorite sport!

There is a monthly fee of $35, which covers the cost of training, skate rental, and loaner gear.
Many skaters also attend open skates at local rinks. You will never have more fun or work harder than when you join this group of like minded athletes!
*** A mouth guard is required for first day of boot camp. ***
WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO HIT THE TRACKS
PROTECTIVE GEAR
Roller derby is a contact sport. We require all skaters to wear the following protective gear while on the track:
-
Helmet
-
Wrist Guards
-
Knee & Elbow Pads
-
Mouth Guards
If you don't own or can't borrow gear from a friend, we have gear you can use. The only thing we don’t share is mouth guards. You can find them from many online retailers and local sport stores.
SKATES
Last but not least... we use quad skates. Officials may wear inline skates. If you have your own, go ahead and bring 'em. If not, we have access to rink skates you can borrow for the tryout and practices until you get your own.
SEE YOU AT THE RINK!
We highly recommend you make time to skate before the beginning of boot camp. You don't have to be an expert right at the jump, but you will need to have at least basic skating skills. All local rinks have open skate sessions for the public, and most offer skate lessons. Be sure to check their websites for times.
