Skating Roller Derby Referee
Thank you for showing interest in our skating referee program. This program has huge rewards. It's not only free, it also help keep our sport alive and thriving, because there is no game with out referees.
Skating Referee Practice Monday 6-8pm
Before showing up to your skating referee practice you will have to pass a hand signals and verbal cues and standard practices test. So study up and commit them to memory. When you have them memorized and you think you're ready to tryout schedule a tryout date with us at info@southsiderollerderby.com
You will also be tested on skating skills. If you have never trained to do any of these skills. We suggest you sign up for our Women's Beginner Roller Derby Boot Camp.
