Newcomers to roller derby are generally known as "Fresh Meat." At BCB, we affectionately refer to our Freshies as Beet Seeds! The Beet Seed program is designed to provide potential skaters the fundamental skills necessary to play roller derby while building strength and endurance. No prior skating experience is required, nor is there a time limit. Skill assessments take place periodically, and you advance as you are able. Don't be afraid, we were all new once, and we get it. Don't let any existing fear stop you from discovering one of the most amazing, empowering experiences you will ever have! 

​

Well, what about COVID? We've got that covered. Our trainers are still able to provide you with the skills and workouts you need, both on and off skates, while still adhering to distancing protocols until we are able to once again meet in person. Now is the perfect time to join! ​Just complete this form, and we'll get right back to you: Beet City Bombers Roller Derby interest Form (google.com)​

What you'll need: 

• Quad Roller Skates (as in, NOT inlines/roller blades)

We do encourage skaters to obtain their own equipment prior to beginning practice, but we do have loaner gear that is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you don't have gear, but wish to purchase your own before beginning, please reach out to us first; we can help you find economical packages designed for beginning skaters. Not only can this save you money, but it will also ensure that the equipment you buy is safe and meant specifically for playing roller derby.
