Want to learn to skate on quad skates and try what that much-talked-about roller derby feels like?
The next Beginners’ Course starts on Friday 11.9.2026 and runs until the end of October. The course includes skate sessions and a few sessions to study roller derby rules.
Beginners’ courses are held a few times a year as low-entry courses where we practice skating with quad skates. Our beginners trainings teach you the basics, rules, and skating techniques of roller derby from the very beginning. No previous sporting background, skating skills, or knowledge of roller derby rules is required. We even have loan gear for you to rent.
After the minimum skills tests, the participants can join the all-league training sessions and our recreational team.
Venues:
Pasilan Urheiluhalli, Radiokatu 22
Pasilan peruskoulu, Tulistimenkatu 2
(Merilahden peruskoulu, Kallvikinniementie 1 )
The age requirement for the course is 16 years.
Beginner trainings are on Thursdays and Fridays. On Fridays after the Beginner training, our competitive teams play scrimmages, a.k.a. practice games, against each other. Beginners are welcome to watch or officiate!
We organize minimum skills tests a few times during the season to ensure all our players are safe for themselves and others. After you have completed your minimum skills, you can join the Kallio recreational team and participate in games.
The Beginners’ Course fee is 70 € for the period until the end of October and should be paid after the first training session. After October you can carry on skating by paying the monthly fee.
If you need to rent gear, the rent is 30€ until your first minimum skills test. After that, be prepared to get your own equipment. For other members and ex-members of the league, the rent is 30 € monthly.
Prepare to buy a mouth guard quickly. We strongly recommend SISU Aero guards, medium size.
