Training

NJRD training is held during NSW school terms (see our 2024 term dates below). We train at Kahibah Public School hall (Frith St, Kahibah).

There are two training sessions each week and attendance is important to developing skills, improving fitness and staying in touch with the club. Whilst we enjoy families coming to watch the juniors train it is essential that everyone remain off the track during training to ensure the safety of all. Attendance is recorded via QR Code (scan and sign in on arrival to each session).

 

SUNDAY 6 to 8pm

All in skater training, which means Learn to Skate, Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 all train together and work through a structured session of set competencies that need to be learned and practiced by all skaters. Off skates warm up is at 6pm.

 

WEDNESDAY is a split session (from 6 to 8:30pm)

- Learn to Skate & Level 1 from 6 to 7pm (off skates warm up at 6pm)

- Levels 2, 3 and 4 scrim training from 7 to 8:30pm (off skates warm up at 6:45pm)

 

EQUIPMENT & TRAINING SINGLETS

We require our skaters to bring a water bottle and have the appropriate safety equipment when on track. This includes:

  • Roller skates (flat derby style with indoor wheels are recommended but heeled skates to begin with are fine)
  • Helmet
  • Knee and Elbow pads
  • Wrist guards
  • Mouthguard (SISU mouthguards recommended - these are available to purchase from our website 'Shop')

If you are looking for somewhere to purchase derby gear, then we highly recommend Roller Derby Heaven at Morisset. This is the best place to get the correct advice and proper fitting for skates and safety equipment. Roller Derby Heaven are also the provider of our training singlets, arm bands and NJRD branded tops. The merch flyer can be viewed on our members only facebook page under the files tab.
