The week of these skating sessions are meant as a sport sampling opportunity to discover your inner skater just waiting to burst forth into a future Detroit Roller Derby junior athlete.
On the last day of the bootcamp your child's skating skills will be assessed and they can continue to work to improve their skills at their own pace or level up into our Level 2 junior season, where they will learn to use their skating skills with minimal contact if they are asked to become a DJRD member, based on their skills assessment on January 10th, 2026.
If your child does not have access to protective gear or skates, no worries we have a gear and skate lending library that might fit all of your equipment needs. We only require them to bring a mouthguard. Sisu is our preferred brand because it can be remolded, you must have it molded and ready for use before first time attending. Be sure to double check the size before ordering. You can find one at this link: https://a.co/d/9oCe7KP
