How can I become a skater with Naptown Roller Derby?

Ready to roll with us? Naptown Roller Derby hosts quarterly workshops designed to teach the basics of roller derby, welcoming skaters of all skill levels. Whether you're new to skating or a seasoned pro, we'd love to see you at our next workshop.

We welcome applications from skaters with substantial roller derby background who are eligible to skip our introductory workshops.

For more information, email us at join@naptownrollerderby.com or follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on upcoming workshops and opportunities. Rental gear is available—just bring a mouth guard and get ready to join derby!

Does your league accept skaters transferring from other leagues?

Of course! We welcome transfer requests from skaters in good standing with their current leagues.

Each transfer request is reviewed as it is received. If you're ready to make the switch and join Naptown Roller Derby, we're excited to have you on board! Email us at join@naptownrollerderby.com.

Are there volunteer opportunities available for individuals who prefer not to skate?

Yes! Naptown Roller Derby is a community that thrives on the support of skaters, coaches, non-skating officials (NSOs), and other dedicated volunteers. We always need enthusiastic individuals to help staff our practices and events. Our volunteers are invaluable to us, and we show our appreciation by inviting them to special events, including our end-of-season celebration.

How can my roller derby team arrange a bout with NRD?

Naptown Roller Derby schedules home and travel bouts for our two teams: the ranked charter team, the Tornado Sirens, and our B team, the Warning Bells. If your league is interested in hosting or joining a bout with us, please contact interleague@naptownrollerderby.com with your scheduling inquiries.

We also encourage you to send invitations for scrimmages, workshops, and other similar events to the same email. This helps us share your events within our league communication channels and keeps everyone in the loop. We look forward to collaborating with your team!

Is it possible to attend an NRD practice as a drop-in skater?

We welcome visiting skaters to join us for our all-level Naptown practices. To participate, we kindly ask for a $5 donation for each practice you attend. Please ensure you are in good standing with your current league to be eligible and bring your gear.
