WHO CAN SKATE?
North Texas Fallout Junior Roller Derby is open to skaters ages 7-17, of all genders, sizes, shapes, and skill levels! You do not have to know how to skate or have roller derby experience. We will teach you how to skate and the fundamentals of derby!
As new members, you will train separately from the veteran skaters until you are skilled enough to pass a minimum skills test. Once you pass the JRDA level 2 assessment, you are eligible to practice with the league and can participate in scrimmages. After you pass the JRDA level 3 assessment and pass the WFTDA Minimum Skills requirement, you will be placed on the North Texas Fallout Roster and can participate in full contact bouts!
