BEGINNERS’ COURSE

Welcome to Tampere Roller Derby’s Beginners’ course starting on 20.9.!

There are many ways to practice roller derby: you can train intensely to become a SM-series player, or practice skating and officiating at your own pace. You can be a master of Excel and learn all there is to know about being a Head Official, or try officiating at our scrimmages one position at a time. You are welcome as you are – you do not need previous experience in roller derby or any kind of sports background. The age limit for our course is 16.

Price? 45€
Where? Kauppi Sports Center, Kuntokatu 17
When? On Sundays at 19-21, during 20.9.2026 – 22.11.2026.
During the last week of November, there will be a gathering where we discuss things we learnt on the course and watch a recent season game together.

You can sign up here (link opens in new tab).

You can sign up until the course begins, but you’ll be better prepared if you sign up before 1.9. The people who have signed up before this date will get an info e-mail including directions on where to get your own skates and equipment and also information about the day (6.9.) when you can pick up and try on loaner gear for the course. (Please note that we have a limited amount of gear and we can’t guarantee them for everyone.)
