Please sign-up for this bootcamp before attending!
Potential Fresh Meat (PFM) and Rainier Roller Riot (RRR) are teaming up to provide a 6-week bootcamp for new skaters! Our goal is to build foundational skills that would prepare a new skater for a surrounding league bootcamp (such as Rainier's upcoming Intro to Derby bootcamp). No skate experience needed if you plan to attend the full six-week camp!
At the end of the six weeks, we hope you'll feel comfortable:
- Plow stopping safely and in control
- Skating confidently in a pack and around other skaters
- Propel yourself forward with urgency
- Turn around safely and in control
