Speed Class

Speed class is designed for adult roller derby skaters and takes place on quad skates, with some drills requiring a full set of roller derby safety equipment.  This class provides a fun and challenging mix of speed skating and roller derby skills. 

Speed skating instruction and drills help skaters refine cross-over form for power and efficiency. Emphasis is placed on both sprints and endurance. Roller derby instruction and drills emphasize fine-tuning footwork for blocking and jamming (e.g., using edges for cutting, turning, stopping).

Speed class provides a unique environment where the drills are specifically adapted to meet a variety of skill levels. Newer and advanced skaters will both find that the drills are structured to appropriately challenge them. Personalized feedback is provided to help each skater level up.
