Interested in roller derby? We have you covered!
Join Maine Roller Derby for our first Summer Boot Camp program! Come skate every Monday night in June and July at the Portland Expo. We’ll introduce you to the sport of roller derby by teaching you some basic skills, playing games, and having fun! This is a great opportunity to meet current members of Maine Roller Derby and work on your skating skills before trying out for the Fresh Muscle Program in early September. Interested in joining the league as a skating member, official, or looking to learn more about the sport? All are welcome!
Dates: 6/16, 6/15, 6/22, 6/29, 7/6, 7/13, 7/20
Time: 6-9pm
Place: Portland Expo, 239 Park Ave, Portland, ME 04102
Cost: $10 per session. Come to all the sessions, or just when you can!
Gear: All skaters must wear full protective gear (i.e. helmet, elbow pads, wrist guards, knee pads, mouth guard*) while on skates. Quad skates with derby-style flat boots are recommended, not rollerblades/inlines. MRD has limited gear available to borrow; email [email protected] ahead of time with your size and needs!
*we cannot provide mouth guards, but you can buy locally at Dick’s Sporting Goods or other stores or order online. We recommend Sisu brand moldable mouth guards.

MRD has an inclusive gender policy for our skating members which includes those identifying as female, non-binary, or gender expansive, or feel most comfortable skating with a women’s roller derby league. We welcome officials, contributing members, and volunteers of all genders.
