The Detroit Derby Girls will be hosting Derby! U, a two day workshop open to all roller derby leagues.  Click here to download the registration packet.

What is Derby! U

Derby! U started as a 2-day weekend workshop (Derby 101) to teach our potential recruits all about roller derby and the Detroit Derby Girls.  While Derby 101 will continue in the future, we were contacted by other local leagues to see if they could attend.  Since it was our first time, we decided to hold off…but now we’re ready to rock…and roll of course!

 

When is Derby! U taking place?

Saturday, September 12^th 9 am-6:30 pm; *BONUS* scrimmage Sunday, September 13^th 2-4 pm

 

Where?

The Masonic Temple in downtown Detroit where we play our bouts.  500 Temple St., Detroit MI.

 

How much does it cost?

$75 per skater; $50 per staff member; 20% discount ($15 off) if you bring a group of 10 or more people from your league (please send Racer McChaseHer an e-mail at sk8namy@yahoo.com for more information on group discounts).

 

What does the $75 cover?

A sweet Derby! U t-shirt, lunch, some light snacks, 6 hours of “courses,” an “after camp special” at the Magic Stick/Majestic Theatre (one of our after party venues) with NO cover, FREE bowling, $1 pizza slices, $2 Miller Lite and High Life bottles, a FREE techno show upstairs on the outside terrace, and a FREE rock ‘n roll benefit in the theatre.

 

*BONUS*  We will be having our Sunday afternoon “Black ‘n Blue” scrimmage taking place from 2-4 pm.  Come as early as 1 pm to warm up and stretch out.  Full scrimmage (with refs, penalty timers, etc.) starts at approximately 2 pm and runs until 4 pm. 

 

Is there anything else going on that weekend?

Yes.  If you feel the need for speed, we have a speed skating practice the next morning about 30 min from the venue from 8-10 am.  There is an additional cost of $5 to attend.

 

If you don’t think you’ll be able to crawl out of bed that early then you can wait until Sunday afternoon and hit up scrimmage and then come watch Detroit’s Motor City Disassembly Line take on the Gem City Rollergirls from Dayton at Riverside Arena in Livonia (36635 Plymouth Rd) on Sunday, September 13^th at 6:30 pm.  Admission is $5 for the bout at Riverside.

 

What you need to bring with you?

Helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, mouth guard, skates, WATER BOTTLE , willingness to learn, positive attitude, and some spending $$$ for pizza and beer afterwards.

 

How can I pay?

By cash on Sat. Sept. 12^th (but please submit your registration form by Sept. 5^th so we know that you are coming) or pay by check when you mail your registration form to Cookie Rumble.
