SKATE WITH US
JOIN CLARKSVILLE ROLLER DERBY
WE WELCOME ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELSCRD is an adult recreational league open to all shapes, sizes and skill levels ages 18 and older who have an interest in Roller Derby and can function in a team oriented environment.
Do you enjoy learning new skills on wheels? We got you.
Are you hoping to finally be able to skate alongside those kids at the skating rink and not fear for your life? Heard.
Do you prefer to pretend you're looking for cracks in the wall while slowly rolling around the building as you build up some confidence? We'll even put someone with ya' to keep you company and do the same!
New skaters start off by learning basic skating skills and exercises to support a strong skating form. If a skater wishes to continue into becoming a trained and rostered skater, assessments and evaluations will determine eligibility and advancement. If you have the drive and desire to learn, we'll help get you to where you want to be

FIRST TIME SKATER?We mean it when we say that all you need is a good attitude and a desire to learn. We have many sizes of loaner gear to suit you up and give you a feel for safely taking the track. Once you find what works for you, we'll guide you on how to get your gear and what options are available.
Still not sure? Come sit on the side lines during a practice! It's free to stop by and watch a practice or two to better understand what we do. After you find out you really kind of like this derby thing, dues for our new skater program are only $20 A MONTH and $30 A MONTH once you are cleared to be a rostered player!
One of the best ways to find out about CRD is to join us on one of our Recruitment Nights held a few times a season. You can meet the team, learn a few basic skating skills, and have a fun no-pressure night of skating/gliding/scooting and cheering. Or simply sit back and watch what fun it can be to set and reach goals, no matter how small.
If you feel lacing up is not a part of your journey but you still would like to be involved, we need you! CRD always needs volunteers, officials ( skating and non-skating), sponsors, fans ( of course), and supporters in order to function. Just walk through the door and we'll help with the rest.
FULL CONTACTWhile Flat Track Roller Derby has evolved from the physically brutal origins of the 1930's Banked Track era, it is still very much a contact sport. If you join us with the hopes of becoming a rostered skater you will be encouraged to work hard with a focus on strength training, cardio, and endurance. As with any sport or physical activity, there are risks of injury. This is why we start with basics and build up to full contact. Before any skater is cleared for contact, they will be deemed safe and physically sound for any and all contact related skills. Sometimes skaters find that they love everything about our program except the contact part, and that is perfectly fine. It takes all kinds of skill sets to make this league run smoothly. We'll find out together how much you would like to be involved and work from there.
