FOR TRANSFERS If you are interested in transferring to BDD and have been skating with a bouting or non-bouting league for more than 4 months, you can apply for a space in our next TRT class by filling out an application. You will receive an email from the current recruitment correspondent and this detailed message will get you up to speed on pretty much everything you need to know about joining BDD.
WHERE TO GET YOUR GEAR Roller derby is a full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, and as such, you need a full set of pads, skates, and miscellaneous gear before beginning our TRT program. We have only a small supply of used gear that may be borrowed for new skater clinics; as such, we ask that you purchase your own equipment before the beginning of the session due to limited availability and sizing. We recommend going to in Nashua, New Hampshire; it’s skater-owned and operated by our very own Dee Stortion and has everything you need to start playing roller derby. The Bruised Boutique is full of extremely knowledgeable staff and !
