Derby! U is our *new* 2-day weekend workshop to teach our potentialrecruits all about roller derby and the Detroit Derby Girls. Currently, we have upwards of 60 womensigned up to attend our open recruitment on Monday, June 8th. They will come and sign the paperworkrequired to tryout and then observe how our league practices are run. The following weekend they will attendDerby! U and learn everything they need to know to become a derby girl. This includes the essential equipmentto play derby, the skills necessary to pass tryouts, the time and moneycommitment required to help run the league, and everything in between.
Following Derby! U, the recruits willattend tryouts on Mon. June 15th and Wed. June 17th to beevaluated on basic skating skills. You must be able to skate sufficiently to enter our Fresh Meat BootCamp. Recruits that pass theinitial skills testing will be invited back to start our Fresh Meat BootCamp. Once our recruits completethe 12-week boot camp, they will be required to pass another skills test (thisone including derby skills). Oncethey have passed skills testing, and have had a chance to scrimmage with theleague, these former recruits could possibly be placed on one of our 4 hometeams.
