Steel City Roller Derby Presents Derby 101

Pittsburgh, begin your roller derby journey on Monday, February 16th! Derby 101 starts at 7:30p and we ask you to join us at 7:15p for check-in. Derby 101 is a guided intro to the world of roller derby, where you’ll learn the basics, meet the Steel City Roller Derby Training & Skills team, and learn how to join our Freshie program (kicking off on Monday, March 2nd at the Homewood-Brushton Branch YMCA). No experience needed — just bring your curiosity, equipment (see below) and get ready to roll!

Equipment Requirements

We require a helmet, skates, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Quad skates in a derby style are recommended. SCRD has a limited number of pads and helmets available for borrowing. Additionally, Wicked Skatewear will be partnering with us for the night! They will have loaner skates available and gear to purchase. Please do bring a mouthguard to Derby 101. We recommend purchasing a moldable one and molding it at home before the event to ensure a comfortable fit and protect your teeth while skating.
