Curious about Roller Derby? Attend annual ‘Meat & Greet’ before joining
Want to challenge your limits? Learn something new? Get in great shape? Build confidence and mental toughness? Meet fantastic people? Be part of a team? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, give roller derby a try!
Join Gallatin Roller Derby for a Fresh Meat & Greet event at Outlaw Brewing, 2876 N 27th, on Thursday, January 16th from 6–8pm. Learn more about the local group, the sport of roller derby, and Bozeman’s community of skaters and officials. This gathering is informal and casual – grab a friend, drop in, and get to know everyone. The more the merrier! And if you can’t make the Outlaw event, head to the Story Mill Community Center on Wednesday, January 22nd to observe an open practice from 7–9:30pm.
Looking ahead, kick off the new year with Gallatin Roller Derby’s annual Fresh Meat Bootcamp for new skaters and referees. This 8-week program begins February 3rd and is held twice weekly: Mondays from 7–9:30pm and Thursdays from 7–9pm at Gallatin County Fairgrounds. Cost is $100 with WFTDA skater insurance included. No contact during boot camp. Must
be 18 or older to join. No skating experience necessary!
Open enrollment will take place at 7pm on February 3rd and 10th at the Fairgrounds (building #2). An additional session on Feb. 5th will be held at Story Mill Community Center at 7pm. These are the ONLY opportunities for new skaters to join Gallatin Roller Derby in 2020. Show up with a mouthguard and bring gear if you have it. Contact Gallatin Roller Derby via private Facebook message to make an advance reservation for “Try Before You Buy Gear.”
