New year, new you! What is your resolution for 2017? Get Stronger. Challenge yourself. Try something new. Make new friends. Give back to the community. Spend less time on social media.*
The Gallatin Roller Girlz can help!—but not with the social media* part. Join in at one of the Fresh Meat and Greets to learn more about the Roller Girlz, their league, and the area’s community of skaters. Grab a friend, drop in, and get to know current refs and skaters. The more the merrier!
Two upcoming informational sessions will be held. The first will be hosted by MAP Brewing, 510 Manley Drive, on Monday, December 5th from 6–8pm. The second, hosted by Access Fitness, University Square Shopping Center, will be held Thursday, December 8th from 7:30–9pm.
You can also enroll in the Fresh Meat Boot Camp. Kick off the new year with the Gallatin Roller Girlz annual Fresh Meat (i.e. new skater and referee) Boot Camp! No skating experience necessary! This 8 week program runs from January 5th–March 2nd and costs $100 per person (includes WFTDA skater insurance.) Skaters must be 18 or older to join. This eight week coached program will be held Mondays from 7–10pm, and Thursdays from 7–9pm at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds, building #2.
Open enrollment will be held: Thursday, January 5th; Monday, January 9th; and Thursday, January 12th. Show up with a mouthguard at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds building #2 at 7pm during one of these sessions to sign up! Bring gear if you have it. Contact the Roller Girlz via private message on their Facebook Page if you’ll need to borrow “Try Before You Buy Gear.”
Please note: these are the ONLY opportunities in 2017 to join the Gallatin Roller Girlz!
