Joining as a New Skater

San Diego Roller Derby new skater bootcamp runs on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Our 6-session skater training program focuses on building foundational skills you need to play roller derby, including stopping, changing directions, crossing over, and skating in a pack.

Referees and Non-Skating Officials

San Diego Roller Derby is always looking supportive individuals to help officiate scrimmages and bouts. Referees give points and call penalties and Non-Skating Officials keep the game running smoothly. This crucial job is the backbone of any roller derby league, and we will teach and train you. It's a great way to be involved with the league without the commitment of being a skater.  Send an email to sandiegorollerderby@gmail.com to start your journey.
