Recruitment
Want to be a Kokeshi Roller Doll?
KRD offers a Baby Doll Training program year round. Which means Open recruitment year round. Since everyone is at a different skill level you train as needed. No set time frame as we don’t like to rush you or hold you back if you have the minimum skills down. Thus giving you the opportunity to try out and be placed on an official team.
No prior roller skating or roller derby experience is required. You just need a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a team mentality.
