Come try out skating at Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s Open Skate and start the roller derby beginner’s course!
Next Open Skate will be held on Fri 13.3.2026 in Pasilan Urheiluhalli at 18.00-19.30/21.00.
Arrive early to make sure you have enough time to get a fitting gear. We are handing out gear from 17.30. We provide equipment for participants, but as the number of participants may be high, we might have to try out the equipment in two separate sessions. However, be prepared to be at the event the entire time, as we will share important information at the end of the session.
After the skating session, 19.30-21.00 you can stay to watch our competitive teams play against themselves. During this scrimmage game, you learn how our league trains and plays, and get familiar with the roller derby rules, too.
Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s free Open Skate trial allows you to easily experience roller derby skating. This training session isn’t yet full-fledged roller derby but is a lighter version of the early sessions of the beginner’s course. We offer skates, protective gear, helmets, and guidance! You can also bring your own gear, such as your helmet.
Sportswear or otherwise flexible clothing may be the most comfortable, but the event is relaxed, so you’ll manage otherwise, too. We hope participants will register before the Open Skate event so we can ensure suitable loan gear for everyone and stay aware of the number of participants. The age limit for the Open Skate event and beginner’s course is 16 years.
Enrollment for the next Open Skate will be open by the end of February.
So don’t hesitate—now is the perfect time to start roller derby! It’s fun, thrilling, sweaty, and wonderful, and it fills your life with fantastic people and events.
