Apply to become a coach for some of Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s teams. The following positions are available:

• Head Coach for A-team 
• 2-3 assistant, bench or player coaches for A-team
  
• Head Coach for B-team 
• 1-2 assistant, bench or player coaches for B-team
  
• Head Coach for C-team 
• 1-2 assistant, bench or player coaches for C-team

Head coaches look at the teams’ overall performance and together with the rest of the leadership plan things for the team to practice and make decisions on strategy and rosters.

Bench coaches communicate to the track during games (often also the team’s A). A bench coach can also apply for only the WFTDA or only the SM-league charter coaching position.

Player coaches focus on developing the players’ individual skills and abilities regarding e.g. conditioning training and skating technique. Assistant coaches help the team out e.g. in the above areas or some other way. The tasks and responsibilities can be combined with each role according to the applicants’ expertise and interests.

The coaching season for the teams follows the SM-league and Division 1 season, and during the upcoming season the A-team coaching may also focus on preparing for European WFTDA-league games. The coach’s responsibilities will be tailored to the strengths of the selected individual, and the most important aspect is to find someone who can commit to developing with the team throughout the entire season. If you have even the slightest interest in coaching, assistant coaching, bench coaching, or player coaching, please submit an application. Our teams are happy to discuss with everyone that have applied in order to find the most functional role for the coach within the community. Submitting an application does not commit you to anything.

If you are selected as part of a team’s coaching staff and you are not yet a member of KRR, you are required to join the league after your selection. Membership fee for everyone is 20 €/calendar year, and training fee for coaches is 40 €/calendar year (total 60 €/calendar year). The membership makes the coach eligible to participate in league decision making.

Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s A-team, All Colours, competes in the Finnish Championship Series and international games. During the upcoming season, the A-team will be split into two charters: one focusing on the SM-league and one on international games. The SM-league charter travels within Finland during the season, and the WFTDA charter travels abroad 2-3 times.

Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s B-team, Kinapori Fistfunkers, will most likely register to play in the SM-league Division 1. The team travels mainly within Finland during the season, possibly also in northern Finland. The B-team’s goal is to travel abroad at least once per season, as there are not enough WFTDA-ranking opponents at this level within Finland.

Kallio Rolling Rainbow’s C-team, Piritorin Ässät, is intended for newer players and those who want to play friendly matches against other leagues. The team travels mainly within Finland and nearby locations around Helsinki. The C-team is looking for a coach who can help the team develop their game.

The Finnish Championship and 1st Division Finals will be played in Helsinki! Join us for a full weekend of Roller Derby action in Pasila Sports Hall. Come cheer on the teams and take part in our raffle for a chance to win fun prizes!

Accessibility in the tournament

Parking and commuting

The tournament venue (Pasila UH, Radiokatu 22) has paid parking, with one free-of-cost spot reserved for cars with a disabled parking permit. 

The nearest bus and tram stops are a 2 minutes walk from the venue.  

Entrance

The most accessible entrance to the event is through the entrance at street level and by elevator to the second floor. When the door is locked, please ring the on-call number at the door: the staff will open the door and assist with the lift.

At street level, there is a curb, followed by a small threshold at the entrance, there are thresholds in the fire doors, and the hall doors are not automatic. Elevator doors require pushing/pulling. 

Visitors who don’t need the elevator are asked to enter through the main / 2nd floor entrance, located behind a concrete staircase.

Accessibility at the venue

On the main floor (2^nd floor of the building) you can find ticket sales, an accessible bathroom, merch tables, and the audience stand for spectators. The audience stand is on a loft behind non automated and heavy doors. Staff will be present to assist through the entrance.

The loft has one row of seats on the floor level and adequate space on the floor level. The raised seats further behind are only accessible by stairs. A part of the floor level will be designated as wheelchair priority. The loft has transparent glass and steel railing.

Sound environment

The venue is lacking a built-in hearing aid system (induction loop system or similar). Announcing will mostly be in Finnish, and amplified by a soundsystem. 

Sounds of gameplay travel far and echo in the sports hall which can cause challenges to people hard of hearing. 

Having ear protection at hand is advised especially for anyone highly sensitive to sounds. 

Staff premises

Volunteer staff, officiators, and skaters can access the bottom floor of the building through the staircase or by elevator. Visitors are not permitted on the bottom floor.

Join the celebration of Pride week, Kallio Rolling Rainbow and Ravintola Oiva are hosting a KRR Roller Disco Oiva 26.6. at 18:00.

Come dance, party, and swirl on skates with us! Skates and other gear can be borrowed for free (most adult sizes available). First-time skaters will receive help, no one will be on their own. We recommend firstimers use all the safety gear. All skaters will be skating at their own responsibility. Ravintola Oiva is not fully accessible; a few steps at the entrance, no accessible toilet. The staff will help if needed.
