Want to learn to skate on quad skates and try what that much-talked-about roller derby feels like?
The next Beginners’ Course starts in autumn 2026. The course consists of 10 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. The course teaches 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.

The age requirement for the course is 16 years.
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’ training fee is 70 € for the period and should be paid after the first training. If you need to rent gear, the rent is 30€ for the duration of the course 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.
