Expectations for Skaters

RJR operates on the principle that every skater has unique needs.  For some, a rigorous practice and for others, just being with the team is all they are feeling today.  RJR is a community - we support each other and grow through Roller Derby.

• Try to arrive on time and prepared for practice.  Warmup time is important to prevent injury

• Have fun while keeping focus during practice. If you are not participating, allow others to focus and socialize before/after or during water breaks.

• Stay in the skater area for the duration of practice (take your water breaks with the team).

• Tell your coaches if you need more help with a skill, or a skill doesn't feel comfortable.

Expectations for Parents

• Help your student be on time and prepared for practice

• Make sure your skater has their gear, and that it fits and is in good condition (skates/protective gear/water bottle/mouthguard [if required]).  Due to insurance requirements, skaters must have all their pads and helmets on before standing up on roller skates.

• Allow and encourage your skater to spend practice time with their teammates and paying attention to coaches.

• Pay attention to league communications and respond in a timely manner.

• Be willing to volunteer.  

• If non-participating children are with you, they need to stay off the rink floor and be courteous in the space.  They cannot skate.

RJR Charter Team - Ravens

The RJR Ravens are a group of level 3 skaters chosen by the coaches to represent RJR in more competitive bouts. This team will play competitive rosters rather than the equal playtime structure that intra-league and other league games follow.
