Wanna be a derby girl? Aurora 88s want you!

It’s that time again! The Aurora 88s are looking for skaters, refs, non- skating officials, and anyone interested in volunteering for the Aurora 88s roller derby league.
This free event will be held at the Aurora Skate Center September 22nd, doors open at 5. This experience is for serious applicants interested in getting in to roller derby. Attendees will be able to watch an Aurora 88s scrimmage, where the 88s will play roller derby just for interested prospective skaters and helpers. This will be a chance to see the ins and outs of just what it takes to be a roller derby girl.
The scrimmage will be followed by a question and answer session to answer any roller derby questions.
No skating experience is necessary to attend this event. This event will be followed by a Derby 101 night onOctober 6th where applicants will practice basic skating techniques at an Aurora 88s practice.
