All-Stars Boot Camp on the Bay

DETAILS

Train with the BAD All-Stars on Saturday August 27! Our travel team is hosting a morning roller derby boot camp for mixed level skaters at our beautiful bouting venue on the waterfront – the Craneway Pavilion. This boot camp will be broken into two groups, Stars for Beginner/Intermediate level skaters, and Gold for Intermediate/Advanced skaters. Stars and Gold will both have 2 hours of training on skates plus 1.5 hours of classroom-style seminars.

Unlimited spectator passes are also available for people to take notes on drills and strategies off skates.

Roller derby on skates training will include a variety of components, including defense, jammer skills, offense, and scenarios. BAD All-Stars will lead classroom seminars such as…

“Skate Maintenance 101”
“Planning Your Team Training”
“Injury Got You Down? How to Cope When You Can’t Skate it Off”
“Footage Review: Breaking it Down One Jam at a Time”

Skater participants are encouraged to assess their own skill level. BAD All-Stars recommend using the following guidelines:

• Beginner: You have passed WFTDA minimum skills, have skated in some scrimmages and/or games, still have a lot to learn on and off the track but are excited for new challenges.
• Intermediate: You have passed WFTDA minimum skills, can confidently skate and scrimmage, may be on your league’s B-team but are looking to progress to the next level.
• Advanced: You have passed WFTDA minimum skills, can skate confidently forwards and backwards and are on your league’s A-team.

All skaters must provide proof of WFTDA, USARS, or equivalent insurance coverage and sign an event waiver.
