Saplings

Humboldt Roller Derby is proud to present the Redwood Saplings 2013 Program!  Now in its fourth season, the Saplings program is committed to engaging young women from throughout Humboldt County in the game of roller derby. The Saplings program’s mission is to foster trust and communication between players while developing athletic ability, derby knowledge and strategy, and sportsmanship in a fun and safe environment.  

 

Program Overview 

  • SKATE SKILLS CLASS is offered in the fall and is designed to provide new and returning skaters with a foundational skill set of basic derby skate skills needed for the sport.  This class ends with a Skills Assessment which is a requirement for all skaters moving onto the Derby Skills Class.
  • DERBY SKILLS CLASS is our main season and runs from January to June.  All skaters in this class will have many opportunities to play in both home and travel bouts.
  • MONTHLY SCRIMMAGES open to all skaters who have passed the Skills Assessment and who have met the practice attendance requirement.
  • PRACTICES are on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s at Redwood Acres from 4:15-6PM.


Come join us!

Females ages 11-17 can participate in a competitive & full-contact team sport designed just for women.
