Skaters
New to skating?
Learn. Try. Join, will help you conquer your skates! It’s a program, open to any gender, and is custom-designed by Kingston City Rollers to be fun, inclusive and an collaborative experience. We will teach you all the basic individual skills of skating, where you will learn to stop, fall safely, skate effectively and efficiently, find your balance, and build your confidence on skates to become a competent skater. Even if you haven’t skated before, or you haven’t skated in a looooong time, our program gets anyone and everyone safely on skates and skating.
When you finish the program, you can then move onto our Pre-Bouting program, where you’ll learn the basics of roller derby and how to play the game.
When you level up to Pre-Bouting, this is where the fun really begins! You’ll learn the most important skills of all…how to beat other people into submission!
If you are keen to rule the track as a member of the Zebras (Skating Officials), you are still required to complete our Learn. Try. Join program.
What if I have no, or little skating experience?
What equipment do I need?
You will need to have:
- Derby-grade quad skates
- Basic safety equipment – helmet, elbow and knee pads, wrist guards and mouthguard
If you do not own or have access to any of the above, that’s ok, we can supply you with skates and safety gear. You will NEED to bring your own MOUTHGUARD, as we’re sure you wouldn’t want to be sharing this with anyone else!
How fit do I need to be?
How much does it cost?
The cost of the Learn. Try. Join program is free for the first month.
You will need to purchase mandatory insurance from Skate Australia as part of your commence in the program.
After the first month, you will then pay $80 per month.

Be a member of two leagues
Why not!
We know that some of you just want to skate, skate, skate whether as a skater or a referee!? If you’re with a league that offers women’s only games, however, you want to skate in open gender games, why not be greedy and do both! Kingston City Rollers offers the opportunity to do just that! You’ll get in more training, and have the opportunity to play more games.
Being a member of two leagues, encourages the sharing of skills, and knowledge, which benefits players, coaches, spectators and the overall sport of roller derby.
Contact us now to find out more about dual membership or to apply.
How much does it cost?
As a dual member, there are two types of membership fees available:
- $15 per session
- $40 per month
Looking for something casual?
No problem!
Our league understands that life can be so busy and full of responsibilities that it makes it difficult to commit to doing a sport full-time, like derby. Some of our members knows this too well, working full-time, being a parent and running the kids to their sports and activities.
As an inclusive league, we offer the opportunity to still skate and learn the skills of derby with our casual membership.
Contact us for more information about our casual membership.
How much does it cost?
As a casual member, there is a membership fee of $5 per month, and a training fee of $10 per session that you attend.
It’s an inclusive sport for people from all backgrounds. Almost anyone can do it. It’s incredibly good exercise. A great stress reliever. Teaches you to be more assertive. You’ll learn about strategy. Incredible teamwork skills. You’ll make great friends. Build your confidence. It’s great for body positivity and it gives you a huge self-esteem boost.
