New Skater Intake

Would you like to play roller derby? Join our next intake, and learn from some of the UK's top roller derby coaches.

Our next intake date is Friday February 27th 2026
Even if you’ve never put skates on your feet you’ll be able to learn from the (literal) ground up, no experience necessary.

Fundamentals sessions are held weekly, unless otherwise stated:

Time: Fridays, 8pm - 10pm
Place: City of London Academy: 240 Lynton Rd, London SE1 5LA
Nearest tube: Bermondsey
Nearest train: South Bermondsey

Here is a list of what you will need to take part:

  • Quad roller skates

  • Helmet

  • Knee pads (ideally vert, but any will do for starters)

  • Elbow pads

  • Wrist Guards

  • Mouthguard

If you are missing ANY of these items you will not be permitted to skate. Safety is key friends! If you need to borrow gear please let us know in the sign up form. We have a small library of gear to lend out, and hopefully will be able to sort something for you.

Your first 2 sessions are £8 each. Please pay for each before the session.
