How do I join Naptown Roller Derby (NRD) as a skater?
NRD holds regular information sessions and workshops teaching the basics of skating and roller derby. Those who attend our workshops will be evaluated for membership in our league. Learn more here!
If you need to purchase gear, we recommend shopping with our friends at Derby Warehouse.
Contact join@naptownrollerderby.com and follow us on Facebook for more information about our upcoming events.
Do you accept transfer skaters from other leagues?
We evaluate requests for transfer from skaters in good standing with another league. We also consider applications from skaters with significant roller derby experience who qualify to bypass our introductory workshops. Please contact join@naptownrollerby.com for information.
Do you have volunteer opportunities for those who don’t want to skate?
Yes! NRD is a community of skaters, coaches, referees, non-skating officials (NSOs) and other volunteers. We always need help to staff our practices and events — and we love and value our volunteers, who are invited to participate in special events, such as our end-of-season celebration. For information on how to volunteer, contact info@naptownrollerderby.com.

Can I sponsor or donate goods and services to NRD?
Sponsoring NRD is a great way to get your business in front of our community of active and enthusiastic skaters, volunteers and fans via our events and popular social media feeds. We also accept donations for goods and services that help promote our mission of providing opportunities to play roller derby and host live events in Indianapolis. We have unique opportunities to connect with our audience, such as our annual silent auction and other fundraising events, and sponsorship packages for every budget and need. Visit our Sponsorship page for more information or contact sponsorship@naptownrollerderby.com.

Does NRD offer training to individual skaters or teams on other leagues?
Absolutely! We can schedule individual or small group training sessions led by our coaches and the skaters of our internationally ranked charter team, the Tornado Sirens, for a fee.
