Can I come and watch?
Come observe a practice night or at one of our Recruitment Nights where we will have a recruiter present to answer all of your questions. Please contact join@undeadrd.com for more information about observation nights.
Are there membership fees?
Yes, all skaters will pay $ 60 per month for dues . Think of it like a gym membership but with more hitting and fun outfits! Dues help support the team by paying for rink fees and admin costs.
NSOs, refs-in-training and volunteers do not pay monthly dues. URD is a nonprofit so all the funds go towards the league itself to bring you the best derby Antioch could hope for!
How does Undead Roller Derby support itself?
Roller derby, as a whole, is a volunteer based sport. Many leagues all around the world rely heavily on the passion and love of the sport from our skaters, coaches, refs, admins, and volunteers. URD utilizes skater dues, business sponsorships, merchandise sales, and home bout events to pay for all league expenses. Every one is important to roller derby!
We are also a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and accept charitable donations.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW HOW?
Don’t worry about it! We’ll teach you everything from the ground up! A lot of our bouting level skaters didn’t know how to skate until they skated with us! We’ll teach you basic skating skills and how they apply to derby play, then we’ll teach you the game, then you’ll play the game!
How old do I need to be to join?
Currently, we’re only accepting 18+ people. We used to have a juniors program, but it was phased out due to lack of interest. We’re always hoping that we’ll get to bring it back though!
