*GEAR UP & GET YOUR DERBY ON!*

Our next training program starts now! This is our Kokeshi Baby Doll training program that freshmeat attends in order to try out and be placed on an official team within our league. Our skating program is designed for every skill level. Newbies to skating are welcome! KRD has some loaner gear but it is very limited. Gear is first come, first serve.

To sign up, please email freshmeat@kokeshirollerdolls.com to receive your Application and Emergency Contact Form. Please let us know if you have any questions!

*BASIC REQUIREMENTS*

To be a skater, you must be a woman at least 18 years of age with health insurance. For practice, wear cool comfortable workout clothes. Long socks or tights are a great idea so you can slide when you fall. Don’t forget a water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring athletic shoes for some off-skate drills. Bring a positive attitude and come prepared to learn and give it your ALL!
