Think you have what it takes to play roller derby? Get ready for Suburbia's 2012 tryouts with this butt-kicking preview. Our coaching and training staff will go over the basic skills you'll need to demonstrate at the tryout, including knee falls, 180 turns, crossovers, and plow stops.
You must supply your own equipment: quad skates (inlines are ok for prospective referees only), knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet, and mouth guard. Tail bone protectors are a good idea but not required. And remember to bring a bottle of water. FYI, the floor is polished concrete; make peace with gravity.
This event will take place in Yonkers, NY - specific address will be given only to participants - no spectators permitted.
Tryouts for skaters and refs will be held Wednesday 6/20 at 7pm (we will start skating at 7pm sharp, so please arrive early to gear up). Participation in this boot camp is NOT required for trying out, but we think it will help.
