The clinic will be intermediate level and taught according to WFTDA rules. Therefore, participants will be required to be a member of a league that plays by WFTDA rules, and have passed the WFTDA minimum skills test.

Men's derby skaters are welcome to participate in this clinic. Women's derby participants may opt out of engaging in contact drills with men's derby skaters and instead choose to do the contact portions with women's derby skaters only. We will organize the clinic accordingly.

The clinic fee is $75 per skater. The maximum number of skating participants will be sixty. There is an observer fee of $30. For every fourteen participants from the same league, two non-skating managers will be able to attend free of charge. Online registration is available here. The proceeds will go to the Liberty Belles travel fund.

We are putting together an amazing program and hope you will join us! If you have any questions, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
